Funds donated by Chief (Dr.) E. C. Iwuanyanwu were immediately put to work revitalizeing the area for younger children: rearranging shelves and seats, refurbishing furniture and adding color in tables, storage and throw pillows. A play area was added with toys arranged in colorful baskets and miniature kitchen, dining and living areas. The collection was expanded to include more blocks; small figures and vehicles; puppets, jigsaw puzzles, and picture books.
