Update from the Toy Library>
We have mixed news from the Toy Library.
To begin with, the Toy library would like to welcome our new librarian Alexis. She has taken over from Jayne Whittaker who kept the bar high as toy librarian and whom we are sad to see move on.
Alexis stepped up to fill the role left empty by Jayne and attends Rolleston Highschool and loves art and music.
Unfortunately the job of librarian at this stage is not looking like it will extend into 2026 as we do not have enough committee members to keep the library going, and membership is still low in spite of our efforts.
As a result the committee have agreed that the time has come to wind up the Toy Library. We will do this at a special general meeting on the 22nd of October.
Unless...some new people show up at the meeting to take it over – could this be you?
If you are looking for a fantastic way to serve the community, then the toy library committee could be for you. It is not onerous and you do not have to have experience to join as we will teach you what to do.
The meeting will be at the Rakaia Tavern from 7.30pm (on Wednesday 22nd of October).
