EMILY LEA
President
Emily hails originally from Atlanta, GA and made her way to Pittsburgh after a few years in Baltimore. She received her M.Ed in Communication Disorders from Georgia State University. She lives with her husband, feisty three year old, and border collie in Squirrel Hill. After saying she never would, she left her job at UPMC as a pediatric speech and language pathologist when her son was 6 months old. She currently enjoys being a self-proclaimed "accidental stay-at-home mom" who is basically never at home (hence her love for the toy library!) Emily's favorite part of volunteering at the toy library has been reconnecting with the sense of purpose outside of parenthood that she felt was missing when she left the workforce. Emily's second favorite part of the toy library is the constant rotation of lending toys in her house!

He left his engineering career in 2023 to raise his kids, and joined the Toy Library as a volunteer member in early 2024. John’s favorite thing about the Toy Library is the fantastic community of parents and children, followed by the immense library of great toys to borrow. When not at the Toy Library, John can be found with his wife Danielle and their kids in Frick Park, at a community event, or carting the kids around the East End on the back of a bike. He also enjoys music, photography, and running.
