This year has flown by and our annual general meeting is upon us. We would love to have new members join our village. Have a read of our posters or your welcome to pop in to the toy library during our open hours to have a chat to see what we are all about. Our meeting will have a great bunch of mums having a good giggle, discussing our awesome Toy library. There will also be nibbles and drinks 🙂

Playgroup 

Playgroup returns to Fridays starting on the first Friday of Term 3 (29.07.2022) 🥳. Come along and have a cuppa and a chat while your wee ones play, we have some exciting activities to celebrate the return of playgroup. 

Playgroup runs every Friday 10am – 12pm, gold coin donation (starting Term 3). 

Watch This Space... 

We are working hard to organise a Toy Sale to make room for new toys to be added to the library! Keep your eyes peeled for new and exciting toys to hire in the coming months. We will advertise the Toy Sale so look out for that too! 

Returning Toys 

Please do not return toys outside of our open hours. If you need to return toys urgently and we are not open please contact our Te Puke Toy Library President on 0276200889 

With the high level of illness in our community at the moment, please remember to stay home if you are unwell. 

We are looking forward to seeing all of you!
