Volunteers are essential to the operation of the Ōtaki Toy Library. Without them we are not able to run our Saturday Sessions. Becoming a volunteer means committing to 4 shifts per year, 1 per quarter. You are able to pick which Saturday, or Wednesday, suits you best before the start of each quarter. Volunteers also enjoy a discounted membership for the contribution of their time during the year, and on every rostered shift are able to hire a toy for free as way of thanks.
A rostered shift involves:
Volunteers are welcome to bring their kids along for the session too.
We offer four types of yearly membership: Volunteer, and non-volunteer membership, and a half-price concession of both if you have a Community Services Card or a Gold Card.
All members pay the same for toy hire, and overdue charges if applicable.
