Explore with Me Geraldine is due back from the printers shortly, which means it must be time to celebrate, with a... BOOK LAUNCH!

🗓️ Monday 14th September
🕓 4-4.30pm (short & sweet, like me)
📍 Geraldine Farmshop & Cafe, 56 Main North Road

Come along for a fun & relaxed story time, spot prizes, bubbles (the kids' kind, sorry), and your very own signed copy (or three - no judgement here, we all know someone overseas who needs a wee reminder of home!).

This book has been a genuine community effort from start to finish, and I'm so grateful to every sponsor, stockist and schoolkid who's been part of the journey & shared in the enthusiasm. A huge thank you especially to my wonderful sponsors, whose support is helping fund a book nook in Geraldine's new under-2s kindy.

So bring the whānau, enjoy a cuppa or delicious sweet treat in their cafe, and let's celebrate delightful Geraldine.

Can't wait to see you there!

🧸 The value of a Toy Library membership! ❤️

This family has been a member of Geraldine Toy Library for just ONE YEAR and has already borrowed:

🎲 145 different toys
💰 $11,363 worth of toys
📚 182 loans

That’s an incredible amount of play for a fraction of the cost of a membership! 🤯

Toy Library membership means you can borrow, play, swap and return toys every 2 weeks - keeping play fresh without buying (or storing!) endless toys at home.

Come and see what you could discover at Geraldine Toy Library!
