Grey Lynn Toy Library

25/09/2026

We'll be closed during the holidays:

• Wednesday 30th September
• Saturday 3rd October
• Wednesday 7th October

We reopen on Saturday 10th October.

As always, if you receive an automated overdue email for toys that are due back while we're closed, please ignore it. We'll waive any fines for the closure period. We'd just really appreciate toys being returned promptly once we reopen so they can get back out to other families.
