About Onehunga Toy Library

Onehunga Toy Library is a not-for-profit toy library run by volunteers from the Mount Joy Room at the Onehunga Community Centre, 83 Church Street. It has supported local families since 2002, and it became an incorporated society in 2026. Members borrow toys rather than buy them, and the library says that keeps toys out of landfill and clutter out of the house.

The collection covers children from 6 months to 8 years, with ride-ons, dress-ups, games, puzzles and toys for each stage of development. The library also hires out party equipment for birthdays and events. It accepts new or gently used toy donations from individuals and businesses, and volunteers are welcome without experience. The library is open on Thursdays from 10am to 12pm and on Saturdays from 9:30am to 11:30am. There is off-street parking behind the centre and on-street parking on Church Street and nearby, and the room is wheelchair and pram accessible. For Onehunga families with young children who want more toys without more clutter, the rotating collection is the practical reason to join.
