Summer Closure 2026-2027

Every year we close over Christmas and the new year, so that our hard-working team can enjoy time with their families and we can do a stocktake.

Last session: Sunday 13th December 2026
First session: Wednesday 13th January 2027

A few reminders about your toys over the break:

•  During this period, you may borrow 5 items (not including Duplo sets and other toys with 50 or more pieces or party packs). If you would like to borrow more toys, you can do so for a $5 charge per toy for the whole period.

•  Just a kind reminder that after mid November, we will not take any further toy reservations for the remainder of 2026. Toys will be hired out on a first come, first served basis.

Be sure to renew toys online, and check your current toy return date online to avoid late fees. Our wonderful librarians Diana, Julianna and Val are here to help if you have any questions: librarian.nsctl@gmail.com.
