We are a charitable organisation run by a volunteer committee of local Mums and a dedicated administrator and librarian. We provide a large selection o

f toys for children from infants to 5 years old. Our members enjoy access to over 1000 toys and we are regularly adding new toys to the library (and retiring the old) to ensure our toys are always in great condition for our members and their kids. Benefits of joining a Toy Library:
- enables you to try toys before you buy (or not buy)
- enables you to have toys at home for a loan period , return them and exchange, giving your child access to a variety of toys without cluttering your home
- you can enjoy watching your children learn through play

A big thank you to the NZ Lotteries Grants Board for their continued support of our library 🙏

This year's grant has helped cover rent at the wonderful Glendowie Community Centre, ensuring we can keep our doors open for local families.

As a not-for-profit, EBTL relies on grants like these to keep running and serving our community.

We're also grateful to the Toy Library Federation of NZ for their work in securing this grant on behalf of all toy libraries across Aotearoa 💛

🤔Did you know? Children learn best through play that changes as they grow. What works at age two won’t look the same at age three or four.

Play for real families grows with your children, supporting different stages, interests, and ways of learning over time.

Choose to play where real families grow — at your local toy library.
