We're very lucky to have received some funding from Lotto NZ to help us keep the toy library running! We are a registered charity so any funding we get for the behinds the scenes costs is absolutely amazing!
Here's a link to an awesome story they published about their support for the Toy Library Federation of NZ across the country: https://mylotto.co.nz/community-winners/local-grants-toy-library-federation-of-new-zealand

Did you know most of our toys cost less than $2 to hire? 👀

With the cost of living on the rise, buying new toys for constantly changing interests can add up fast, but it doesn’t have to.

At Christchurch South Toy Library you can:
🧸 Borrow instead of buy
💰 Save hundreds of dollars each year
🔄 Rotate toys to keep play fresh and exciting
🌱 Reduce waste and support sustainable play

Whether your child is into puzzles one week or trucks the next, we’ve got you covered — without the price tag. Monthly membership starts at $10 annual membership from $48 plus toy hire

Come see how much you could save (your wallet will thank you 😉). Check out our range of over 540 toys here: https://chchsouthtoylibrary.setls.com.au/toy_picture_index
