Mt Albert Toy Library

We have mums at our toy library who have been blessed by this service so please support this wonderful organisation.

Once again, this year, we're giving back to mums across the country, thanks to Bellyful NZ. Until Mother's Day, for every Coffee and Muffin purchased, we'll be making a donation to their cause.

Bellyful is a volunteer run organisation that cooks and delivers free meals to whānau with babies or young children, who need support in communities throughout the country. So why not visit your local Muffin Break, and support a great cause.

We are incredibly grateful to the Lottery Grants Board for their generous support which has enabled us to fund our Toy Librarian and keep our doors open for the community.

A special thank you as well to the Toy Library Federation of New Zealand for applying for this grant on our behalf; your support and advocacy mean so much to us.

Thanks to this support, we can continue helping the environment by reducing waste while also helping families reduce clutter and save money. Most importantly, we’re able to give children the opportunity to explore a wide variety of toys, supporting their development and allowing them to continue learning through play.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community.

📣 Last chance for toy hires!
This is the final week to hire toys for the school term break before we close for a short pause.
We’ll be taking a 2-week break, reopening on 21st April so now’s the perfect time to stock up on fun! 🧸🎲
Pop in tomorrow or Wednesday between 9.30-11.30am and keep the kids entertained over the holidays!

Just a reminder it’s double issue week this week and next week before we take 2 weeks break over the school holiday. We will be closed after 1st April and will reopen for term 2 on 21st April. Double issue means hire for 4 weeks instead of 2 at double the hiring fee.
