Toy Library News

By Donna McQuaid Feb 2023

Happy New Year to all our members and volunteers! It’s been a busy start to 2023, with our party pack proving to be popular with people celebrating summer birthdays. The outdoor toys are also in demand, particularly our new range of 2 and 3 wheel scooters. Several grandparents have mentioned how worthwhile their membership has been, hiring out bikes and scooters and other toys for visiting family members.

For those who aren’t aware, South Wairarapa District Council has made a very generous donation that enabled us to reduce our rates; a grandparent’s membership is now $40 for a full year, or $25 for a half year, with no fees for toy rental. (Regular membership is $50 for full year and $30 for half year.)

Our usual opening hours of 10am-12pm on Saturday mornings are suspended for the Martinborough Fair days. Instead, we will be hosting a baby change and feeding facility from 8am-4pm. This is free to use, although a koha is hugely appreciated.

To keep up with news of other upcoming events, as well as details any new toys being purchased, follow us on Facebook or Instagram. You can also join the library and check out our catalogue online at martinborough.mibase.co.nz.
