If any members are coming down to the toy Library today please remember there is limited access due to Challenge Wanaka.

Access to toy library via event parking on way to holiday park. See you there 🤗 🚂

Remember you can take as many toys as you like so there are less for us to put in storage!

🚜 A&P Show Closure Notice 🎡
Kia ora Toy Library whānau 👋
Our last day open will be Friday 20th February, as we’ll be closing while the A&P Show takes over the Wānaka Showgrounds and Wool Tin Shed.
🎉 Good news though
From now until we close, members are welcome to take as many toys as they like. No limits, no counting, just fill your boot 🚗💨
The fewer toys we need to store, the happier our volunteers (and storage!) will be 😄
Thank you for your understanding and support. We’ll share reopening details once the show packs up and the dust settles.
Happy playing,
