Explanation:
A bit wordy, but that is how I might translate it, depending on the context. Another suggestion would be to use the term ludoteca and put the explantation in English in brackets.

Ludoteca, da raiz ludus (lúdico, jogo) + teca (casa), conforme já foi apontado, diz respeito a uma instituição dedicada à preservação, ao cultivo e à proporcionalização do lúdico a pessoas de todas as idades, classes sociais, grupo étnico, etc. (...) Já a Brinquedoteca tem como cerne de sua proposta o brinquedo, o objeto e, de fato, poderia funcionar como um setor da Ludoteca. (SILVA, 2000, p. 146-147).
