November 2023 Newsletter

Move on over, Coolbellup!

If you were at our Annual General Meeting in October you may have heard the news - our Coolbellup branch is moving around the block to 30 Mopsa Way! We will be located alongside the Pineview Community Kindergarten.

A big thanks goes to the City of Cockburn who so generously support us and took care of the refurbishment of this space for us to use.

In order to complete the move, we will need to close Coolbellup early for the summer break.

The Committee are very excited to show our fresh, new location to you when we reopen in early January.

To facilitate this, there will be extra volunteering opportunities over the summer period as we get all settled in.

Give the gift of membership this Christmas 🎄

Organise a gift voucher for your loved one today! 

Ask in branch or send us an email - we can either print one out for you or send a digital voucher for you to forward on to the recipient. Prices start at $100 for a Non-Active Membership and Active Membership with a volunteering component for 6 months is just $50.

Let us take the hassle out of choosing a gift, and they can choose from 2000+ toys to borrow!

Summer Holiday Closure Dates

Cockburn Toy Library always takes a break over the summer holidays, coinciding with the festive period,

Please be aware that Coolbellup will be closing early with our last session being 6 December 2023.

Atwell will continue to open on Saturdays with the last session being 23 December 2023.

Both branches will reopen in the new year on Saturday 6 January 2024.

We have no issue with members having toys out over this break, in fact we encourage it as it will help streamline the relocation of Coolbellup if there are less toys to account for 😀

Containers for Change

Don't let your containers go to waste - give the 10c to us!

Did you know that we are a registered cause with Containers for Change? If you are feeling generous at a refund point, please use our member number C11040663 or alternatively bring your containers to our branches and we will gladly accept the donation.

Active Member Roster Duties

Do you still have outstanding duty to complete for your membership? December & January dates are now up.

Visit the SeTLS database to nominate on the calendar roster.

Make sure you are nominating as a Member Volunteer, and please only select roster slots which are Blue or Grey.

Rosters in Green are good to go and Red rosters mean we are overstaffed!!

Marissa at Cooby & Nathan at Atwell are so grateful for members help to run our sessions - we really couldn't do it without you!
