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)!

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!

We have some staff away this weekend and next, so we'd love some extra hands on deck to help the library run smoothly.

If you're on a duty membership and need to do some shifts, here's your chance!
And even if you're on a non-duty membership, if you're able to help out we'll make a credit to your account as a thank you.

Just put your name down on the roster after signing into our website :)

💛 A note on fundraising & helping out

Like many community organisations, our operating costs continue to rise. We work hard to keep membership fees as low and accessible as possible, but this does mean we rely on additional funding sources — including fundraising — to keep everything running smoothly.

We really appreciate our members being part of that effort in whatever way they can, whether that’s lending a hand at events, contributing behind the scenes, or helping spread the word.

We’ll be holding a sausage sizzle and bake sale in September and will be looking for parent helpers to make it happen. More details will come closer to the time, but we’d love your support. And if you have ideas for fundraising, we’re always open to hearing them!

As well as hiring a new librarian, we’d also like to remind everyone that our committee is always open to new members, and we warmly welcome anyone who would like to get involved. We are currently recruiting for general members, a fundraising officer, and a grant officer, and will soon be looking for a treasurer as well. It’s a great way to support the library and connect with the community.

If you’re interested in the librarian role or a committee position, or would like more information, please email [email protected]

We’d love for you to join the Toy Library team!
