Want to play all summer?

We are closed for regular lending over the school holidays but our Summer Lending fundraiser lets members borrow toys for the whole summer holidays for $5 per toy. This is great value and a vital annual fundraiser for the Karori Toy Library.

Come in before our last session on Saturday 13 December to get your summer toys.

😎 Toys borrowed before 25 November still need to be returned on time, you can't keep them for the Summer Lending period as well. This gives everyone a fair chance of borrowing our most popular toys.

🛻 Once Summer Lending starts, you can borrow as usual up to the final week we are open but if toys are not returned before the Toy Library closes for the year, Summer Lending charges will apply ($5 per toy).

🐎 We do not loan toys with more than 20 pieces during Summer Lending (e.g. puzzles, games, Duplo, Playmobil), due to the high risk of losing pieces. But you can borrow as many toys as you want.

🛴 All toys need to be stored inside overnight and cleaned before being returned. Please treat our toys with care over the holidays.

22/10/2025

The Karori Toy Library will be closed tomorrow (Thursday).

Due to the MetService red wind warning, the Karori Community Centre will be closed for the day, so we are unable to open for our usual Thursday session.

Apologies for the inconvenience and please stay safe everyone.
