A library game for children who lend their own books. A child issues a library card with a blank name and card number, stamps the due date on a slip inside each book, and writes each loan in the checkout log. Lending books from a bookshelf is enough to run the game. Type a different library, such as a bookshop, a school library or a toy library, and the same sheets are drawn for it.

  • a reading corner at home
  • a dating and counting task with due dates

Frequently asked questions

How do I print the sheets?
Print each sheet at full page size on plain paper or card. Every sheet keeps a wide white margin, so it prints cleanly.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Classic library is a traditional, formal look. Crayon doodle has wobbly outlines and hand lettering. Black and white is clean line art with nothing shaded.
Can I change the library?
Yes. Type a different library, such as a toy library or a bookshop, and the same sheets are drawn for it. The nine pictures on this page are fixed; a library is a request, not a promised picture.
Is there room to write the due date?
Yes. The due-date slips have an empty two-column grid for dates to be stamped or written.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
