Toys can be hired for as little as 50 cents per week, in addition to an annual membership fee and refundable deposit.

The Meg's Toy Box Community


We currently have over 100 active members in our library. We love welcoming new members and invite parents, grandparents and other carers to join our community too

Joining our toy library is really easy. Come and visit us during our opening hours and one of our friendly volunteers will help you with your membership. 

We're open from February to November on Wednesdays (10am-12pm) and Saturdays (2-4pm). If you're worried about whether we're open you can check our facebook page. We will send out a notice on Facebook if we can't open for a shift. 

We rely on volunteers to run our library we ask all our members to help out at some time during their membership journey. We have flexible volunteering options to suit all families and you will get to enjoy perks like free borrowing when you lend a hand.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
