Help us move to a new home!

North West Toy Library needs the community’s help!! Unfortunately our current premises based at Westgate Outlet Centre in Westgate; has been sold and now we need to URGENTLY find a new home!

We have been Northwest Auckland's hub for sharing toys and keeping it away from the landfill since 2019. To this date we are currently serving 120 members in the community with over 800+ toys. Our members enjoy coming into our toy library to hire toys and connect with other families during our session times, creating supportive relationships with one another.

Unfortunately, the building we are renting has been sold and we have been given notice to vacate no later than 30 March 2023. This sale means that we will not be able to continue to operate the library if we cannot find a new premises. We now need to find a new space for our library to operate from in our community – this is now a necessity.

On top of that, the cost of moving all 800+ toys, racks and storage will be significant. We will also need to pay more rent above and beyond our current remit. The grants and membership fees help just about pay for a librarian, utilities, toy/storage maintenance and purchases.

WE DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUR DOORS!! Please help us keep this vital service for 100+ families going 🙏
