Ponsonby Community Toy Library

Located at the Subud Hall, 19 Formby Ave, Pt Chevalier, Auckland

With an annual membership you can borrow from over 1700 toys suitable for ages 5 months up to 7 years. We are continually updating our collection with new quality toys from popular brands.

We lend out 5 toys at a time for 3 weeks & have double loans on puzzles & ride-ons, allowing up to a total of 7 on loan if those are included. Members can renew for a further 3 weeks if needed.

The library is open now until November 22, then will re-open 6 January 2026. Normal loan toys are returned during November then current members can hire large single piece toys over the break.

New members are welcomed with two annual membership options. Select the 'Membership' button for options and the 'Join Now' button to fill in our online form. Or come to the library during our sessions to join. Payment is via direct credit to our account. We look forward to meeting you!
