We are a volunteer-run toy library where families borrow toys, games and outdoor equipment for a fortnight at a time.

I'm Tui's new website

Everything here was written and drawn to get Tui started – the words, the pictures, the colours, all of it. None of it is fixed. Change any of it, or all of it.

It really is easy, and you cannot break anything. When you have made it yours, delete this panel.

To log in, go to test1.ddnz.org/wp-admin. Your username is the email address you signed up with, and your password is in the email we sent you – have a look in your inbox.

Once you are in there are hundreds of free templates to choose from and thousands of plugins that add whatever you need. A little time in there and this will look properly like yours.

We have already set up the community side for you – Community Discussion and Community Self Funding. They are worth having for your community on their own, and they are also what brings people back to the site, which brings you visitors and custom you would not otherwise get.

Run by parents, for families

We are a group of parents who run a toy library here in Dunedin. It started because we wanted our kids to have more toys to play with without our houses filling up, and it has grown into something the whole community can use.

Joining is simple. Families pay a small annual fee and can then borrow toys, games and outdoor equipment for a fortnight at a time, swapping things over as often as they like.

How joining works

Families join for a small annual fee, which covers borrowing for the year.

What you can borrow

We have toys, games and outdoor equipment available to take home for a fortnight at a time.

When we are open

We are open Saturday mornings and one weekday afternoon, so there are a couple of chances each week to visit.
