This study aims to adopt a perspective of ＂play＂ to explore the impact of toy libraries on preschool children's early literacy development. This study is qualitative in nature, taking place in two toy libraries affiliated with public libraries which hold large-scale toy collections and have offered long-standing toy lending services. Observations and interviews were conducted to explore the caregiver-child interactions and conversations mediated by toy collections in toy libraries and their impact on the development of early literacy skills. Study participants included 76 preschool children, 62 caregivers, and 7 librarians. Findings suggest that the impact of using toy collections in the toy libraries on preschool children's early literacy development included: print motivation, vocabulary, oral language, narrative skills, letter knowledge (including English letters and Chinese characters), and school readiness (including social skills, logical thinking, hand-eye coordination, attention and persistence, creativity, and interest exploration). Meanwhile, findings also show that toy libraries help alleviate family economic pressure and become a place for caregivers and preschool children to socialize and share learning resources.

本研究旨從「玩」的觀點探究玩具圖書館對學齡前兒童早期素養之影響。本研究採質性研究，以玩具借用服務年資長且玩具館藏較具有規模性的兩間附屬於公共圖書館的玩具圖書館作為研究場域，研究者透過觀察法與訪談法瞭解學齡前兒童在玩具圖書館透過玩具館藏和照護者產生的互動、對話的活動情形，並從活動過程中探討其對早期素養技能發展的影響。研究對象包含76位兒童、62位照護者、7位圖書館館員。研究結果顯示學齡前兒童到訪玩具圖書館使用玩具館藏對學齡前兒童在早期素養技能的培養具有啟蒙的作用，包含：愛好書籍、詞彙、口語表達及敘述能力、字母知識（包括：英文、中文）、學前準備（包含：邏輯思考、人際關係及分享的概念、手眼協調、專注力及耐心、創造力、探索興趣）。同時，也發現玩具圖書館的存在，能夠緩解家庭經濟壓力並成為照護者與學齡前兒童社會交流與學習資源共享的場所。
