Shirley Toy Library opening time
The Shirley Toy Library is a not for profit community service run by a committee of volunteers and two librarians. We are just like a book library except you borrow toys. We are located in Amos place, just off Marshlands Road near the Palms. The Library stocks nearly 1500 toys for ages from newborn to 5+. Our new opening times are:
Wednesdays 9.30am - 11.30am
Saturdays 9.00am - 1.00pm
Like us on faceboook for regular updates/holiday info and sometimes competitions.
From 1st April we have new membership options. Toys range from 50c to $3.50 per two week hire. See our website for more details: www.shirleytoylibrary.co.nz...
