Please update your saved online banking information with our full correct details.
We have sent an email to all current members and there are posters up in the Library with our full account name and number.
Reminder we accept payments by bank transfer or cash only. We don't have eftpos or credit card facilities.

We'll be back on Thursday 30th January 2025.
Special holiday rate for the long break: pay for four weeks and keep playing for 6+ weeks!!
All toys loaned after 6 December 2024 will be due back by 4th February 2024.
During this time our volunteers who reply to your emails and social media messages are also away so responses will be delayed too, please be patient with us while we spend summer with our families too.
New Membership Rules
ExpiredAt our recent Annual General Meeting, members voted to update the Membership Rules for the Toy Library.
The general principals in the rules are the same as before. The key changes we have made are:
- to simplify and update the language;
- to remove obsolete references (for example, we no longer accept payment by cheque or operate a demerit system); and
- to add reference to new systems including our online Toy Library software SETLS.
The next time you visit you will be asked to confirm that you have read and agree to the terms of the new Membership Rules.
A copy of the updated Membership Rules can be found on our website (https://www.howicktoylibrary.org.nz/join-online-now/toy-library-rules-of-membership) and we have copies in the Library.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
