Where Are We Located?

The Open Toy Box operates out of the St Columba Church Hall, at 92 Surrey Crescent, Grey Lynn.  www.saintcolumbas.org.nz

There is parking inside the church grounds outside the hall on the areas that are paved under the grass.  St Columba Church is also happy for our members to park outside the church itself if there is no event (such as a wedding) planned for that day and when parking elsewhere is full.

When Are We Open?

We are open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9.30am till 11.30am.  Please arrive before 11.15 if you intend to loan toys.

We are open as usual during school holidays, however we are closed on any public holidays which fall on Wednesday or Saturday, and also any Saturdays that are adjacent to public holidays (i.e. long weekends).

We hold a spring-clean and stock-take twice a year and on these days we are open for returns only and not for lending.

We close the library in early December and re-open again in February.
