Toy Library relocates to Lions Den

February 13, 2024 February 2024 No Comments

A New Year brings a new start for the Martinborough Toy Library, as we kick off 2024 in our new premises at the Lion Dens – 1 Oxford Street. 

We’re excited to be sharing this space with The Martinborough Lions Club and thank them so kindly for offering us a fabulous new location for our library members to visit.

A huge thank you also, to the Martinborough Volunteer Fire Brigade, who have hosted us for the past 2 years. We are so grateful to the brigade members for accommodating us during that time!

We are now OPEN for the year and have a slight change in our opening times. You can now visit us on TUESDAYS 9.30 – 10.30 a.m. and SATURDAYS 10.00 – 12.00 p.m.

We will be closed on both Martinborough Fair Days as the team will be running the Parents Room in the Supper Room at the Waihinga Centre – make sure you drop in and see us.

Lastly, if you’re looking for the perfect gift over the next few months, we now have gift vouchers available for purchase. For more information, pop in and see one of our amazing volunteers or email us: martytoylibrary@gmail.com
