Welcome to Waimairi Toy Library

Our Journey from Burnside Primary to Rosebank Temporary Location

At Waimairi Toy Library, we're more than just a place to borrow toys; we're a vibrant community hub that fosters early childhood development through play and learning. Our journey has been one of resilience and determination as we recently relocated from Burnside Primary to our temporary home at Rosebank. We've faced challenges, but our mission remains unwavering: to provide the children of the North West Christchurch community with access to a diverse range of high-quality toys and educational resources.

Seeking a Permanent Home in North West Christchurch

Our commitment to the children and families of North West Christchurch is steadfast. We are actively searching for a permanent home that will allow us to continue serving our community for years to come. Your support in this endeavor is crucial as we work tirelessly to secure a permanent location that can accommodate our growing inventory of toys and our thriving community of members.
