17.01.2022 DIPL Road Safety NT says that one way we can help to keep our children safe on the roads is to teach children responsible road safety behaviours and attitudes from a young age. We have added some new double sided traffic signs and working traffic lights to the library. This set can be found in the big toy room and because we support Towards Zero there is no hire charge for this set. #towardszeront

11.01.2022 A quick update on our Covid-19 measures: Hand sanitiser is available and we ask that you use it before you visit each room. We are observing physical distancing and ask members to do so too. Tap and Pay is our preferred payment option and we have removed the minimum limit for eftPOS transactions. We have improved our returns process to include additional steps to disinfect and sanitise all items before being returned to the shelves - the expectation is that members continue t...o return toys cleaned appropriately. Thankyou all for your cooperation and understanding as we keep our members and staff as safe as we can. See more

02.01.2022 Lets talk about overdue toys. We know you don't like overdue fees, neither do we, here's how to avoid them...

When you receive the email gather the toys and check them, count them and clean them before bringing them back to us.

01.01.2022 Do you ever feel like something is missing... so do we. We ask you to check the items within 3 days and report any missing pieces to us because while we count and check all the toys before they are returned to our shelves, occasionally a toy may be opened in the toy rooms. Before you return an item we ask that you check and count all of the pieces. We will also ask you when return items if there are any missing pieces, its what we do to make sure that everyone can continue t...o borrow really great resources.
