Term 3 & 4 Volunteer Roster is NOW OPEN!

Our Toy Library is run by members, for members, and every borrowing session is only possible because members volunteer their time.

If you've been thinking about helping, Now is the perfect time to give it a go!

Whether you can help with:
🧸 One opening shift this term
🧩 One toy-cleaning session
🎉 One special event
⏰ Or just an hour when you can...

Bring your children.
..every contribution helps keep our shelves open and hundreds of toys ready for local families to borrow. No experience is needed—we'll show you everything!

As part of your membership, families contribute 4 sessions over a 12-month period. If you can't help during a borrowing session, there are plenty of other ways to get involved.

📧 Check your email for the Term 3 & 4 roster and session dates, then sign in via SETLS or reply to the email with your preferred sessions.
