We had some of our youngest members visit us yesterday and you could see they were happy to be in charge of the toy selections 🤭

Thanks again to our volunteer members. By signing up for duty you help to ensure the sessions run smoothly and we can get the toys back on the shelves for other members to borrow

Mix and match, puzzle and vehicles all rolled into 1 toy!

Includes a 3 piece plane, 3 piece fire engine, 3 piece boat.
All pieces are magnetic and can connect to each other. Use different parts to create different vehicles.

Fun for kids to build their own firefighting vehicle while working on their fine motor skills and hand eye co ordination

This set has proved quite popular since it’s been added into the library recently.

We also have Construction Vehicle set too - C100 🚜🏗️

With National Volunteer week at an end we would love to shout out our amazing committee members.

Our AGM was held yesterday and we welcome into executive positions

Treasurer Jessica
Our general committee of Sam, Dom, Rachael, Kimberley, Holly, Morica and Daniela

Big thank you to Dom who was our president for the last 12 months and to Sam for continuing on as our librarian this coming year

Was a fabulous Sunday session today at the library. Big thank you to our duty volunteer members today. Appreciate all of your help!

It’s great to see so many of our members taking advantage of borrowing a bonus puzzle this term.
Incase you had missed it you can borrow 1 puzzle in addition to your normal 5 you limit 😃🧩

Make sure to share what your kids are most excited to be borrowing today

23/05/2026

Reminder our AGM will be held today following our borrowing season at 4pm

If you’ve been curious about how the library is entirely volunteer run or want to see how you can contribute we would love you to join us. Without a continuing strong committee we would be unable to bring the library and all the toys to our families

Our AGM will be held Sunday 24th May - 4pm at our library

All executive roles do need to be filled for our library to remain open. We have had volunteers on our committee for a number of years who will be moving on so we are looking for new faces to come on board.
If you love our library and would like for your family to be able to continue visiting we encourage you to consider joining our committee.

Any questions, would like more info or you’re unsure how you could help please email us prior [email protected]
