North Shore Community Toy Library (NSCTL)

Community Organisation

The North Shore Community Toy Library is a newly founded society on Auckland's North Shore run by highly motivated and skilled volunteers that want to make a difference by growing our children into resilient citizen. We have been existing for nearly 30 years providing generations of children with high quality education toys and being a community meeting point. Over the last years we have been operating us North Shore Plunket Toy Library, but decided to become independent in order to grow our portfolio and founded a new society.

We stock over 1,300 high quality educational toys, games, puzzles, CDs and DVDs for young children which can be borrowed for a small annual fee.

We offer:

  • Access to hundreds of educational toys
  • Less financial outlay than purchasing toys
  • Borrow toys that match your child's age, stage of development and interests
  • Borrow toys that facilitate a particular skill development in children
  • Avoid storage issues of multiple bulky toys
  • Help the environment by borrowing rather than purchasing
  • Having the opportunity to try toys before you buy them
  • Able to exchange toys as children lose interest in them
  • Access to toys of a high quality
  • An opportunity to meet other families in the community and network
  • Volunteers on hand to help you and your children
