Become a Member

Hastings Toy Library is open to all parents, grandparents and carers, allowing you to borrow toys and save money whilst keeping your child stimulated and engaged in play.

We also offer group memberships to family daycare’s, kindergartens, disability groups and community groups.

With over 1200 toys, games and puzzles to suit children from 3 months to 10 years. We also welcome adult memberships for those interested in our family games.

As a non-profit, volunteer community organisation, we rely on the assistance of members to keep running. We ask our members to meet their duty quota of 3 hours per year and for this, they receive a reduced Volunteer Membership fee. For members unable to assist, they can opt for a Non Volunteer Membership type and forgo their duties.
