KARORI TOY LIBRARY

We're committed to providing quality entertaining and educational toys for Karori and the surrounding community.

Playing is vital for your children to learn, and their play needs will constantly change as they develop and grow. Our wide selection of toys includes games, puzzles, dress-ups, ride-ons, musical toys, dolls houses, slides, bikes, scooters, baby gyms, exersaucers and more.

Fundraising and grants enable us to purchase toys throughout the year to ensure the collection stays in a good condition, and new toys are being added to our collection monthly.
