New Toys donated to the toy library

The Gourmet Grill

Martinborough Toy Library had a successful day at the Community Market over the October long weekend. Thank you to all our volunteers who helped set up and sell some of our much loved toys so that we could make space for some exciting new ones! Thanks to memberships, fundraising efforts and donations, we have been able to purchase a range of new toys this last month. Follow our Facebook page to stay up to date with our new arrivals.

The Hape Gourmet Grill was purchased with money donated by Sarah Rixtia and thanks to local sponsorship, the Melissa & Doug Pizza Counter was donated by Colombo. We also have a Coffee Machine, donated by Kitcheners, and an Icecream Counter donated by Neighbourhood cafe. More exciting toys to come as well!

This month we have the Rose Show on November 14th and will be doing a bake sale, including selling our delicious honey and olive oil. We would love to see you there to support us.  

A very special thanks to Donna McQuaid for all her tireless work and dedication to Toy Library. Donna held the position of Toy Library President and has recently stepped down. We now welcome Rachel Potter and Hayley Bartholomaeus who will be job sharing this role now.

We are always in need of volunteers – if you think you can help please contact us at martytoylibrary@gmail.com
