Nelson Community Toy Library (NCTL)

🌟 Matariki Weekend Closure 🌟

Just a friendly reminder that Nelson Toy Library will be closed on Saturday, 11 July for the Matariki weekend.

🧸 If your toys are due back on 11 July, we've automatically extended your loan by one extra week, so your new return date is Saturday, 18 July.

💙 A small favour if you're able...

We currently have over 100 toys due back on 18 July! If you can make it to the library this Saturday to return your toys and swap them for some new ones, it would really help spread the workload across two weeks.

This will make things much easier for our amazing committee members and volunteers, and it will also help reduce waiting times for everyone returning and borrowing toys.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support—it really does make a difference. We hope to see lots of you this Saturday! 😊

✨ Wishing everyone a safe and happy Matariki weekend!

We have a few slight changes to our opening hours over winter while our wonderful toy librarian Monika is away.

During this time, our amazing committee members and volunteers will be filling so this means you might see some different faces in the library during July and August.

Keep an eye on our page for reminders about our planned closures.

✨️ Happy National Volunteer Week! ✨️

This week we celebrate and say a huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers at the Nelson Community Toy Library.

Our toy library is powered by the time, energy, kindness and dedication of our amazing volunteers. From welcoming whānau, sorting and caring for toys, helping members, and keeping everything running smoothly — every contribution makes a difference.

We truly appreciate your support and help to keep play accessible in our community!
