Northcote Toy Library

Northcote Toy Library is a non-profit community organization, lending quality toys to our members just like a regular library but for toys!

Each family can borrow up to 7 toys and keep them for 3 weeks! The Northcote Toy Library is a community service run by volunteers. We provide a large range of well designed, safe and educational toys, including ride-ons, balance bikes, tents, infant toys, puzzles, games, Duplo sets, musical instruments, theme play toys (eg. dolls' house, farmyard set, trains) and role play toys such as kitchens, lawnmowers, baby cradles, etc, for you to borrow at a minimal cost. This will allow you to match toys with your child's development. We hope you and your family enjoy the experience. Please join us by click the "Join Now" button on our website http://www.northcotetoylibrary.org.nz , make a transaction prior your visit, and bring a valid ID, letter of address, and you're all set! Every day to the Northcote Toy Library will be like Christmas for your little one(s)!

Morena koutou! If you are a Parent Help member, please sign up for your duties! We only have ONE person signed up to help between now and mid-December. The library can only function well if everyone chips in.

If you're not a parent help member, we would love to have your support. For every duty completed, you get a discount on your membership-- a win-win for both you and the library.

Log in with MiBase to sign up! Or message us if you need help signing up.

Thank you!
- Northcote Toy Library Committee

Our Bunnings Sausage Sizzle a few weekends ago was a huge success! Thank you to all the volunteers who made made treats or assisted on the bbq and baked goods stalls. We couldn't have done it without you!

A special shout out to Grace-- the winner of the Prezzi card for volunteering. Thank you so much!

Kia ora, toy library members!

We've been a bit light on volunteer sign ups over the last few weeks and have very few slots taken for the remainder of the year! It would help us greatly if you could take a moment to sign up for your Term 4 duties.

And a quick reminder that extra duties earn a $25 credit towards your membership. A win-win for the Toy Library and for you! 🧩 🎲 🎉

As we farewell Alissa and welcome our new librarian Warisa, we'd love to make sure we have all parent duty spots filled to give them ample opportunity for handover and training.

If you're on a parent help membership, please remember to sign up for your required duties. And even if you're on a non-help membership, if you have time to spare we would love the assistance, and you'll receive a credit on your account as a thankyou!

Pop your name down via the website. Just log in and click on roster!
