Welcome to the Special Needs Library

Earthquake Update - We are open !!

The Special Needs Library has now re-opened after some minor repairs.

We would like to ask any of our clients who have had to relocate to let us know your temporary address, you can do this over the phone, by email or simply tell us on your next visit.

Again we thank you for your patience, and our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.

From the team at the Special Needs Library

Welcome to the Special Needs Library, a lending resource library, with over 3,000 educational toys and therapeutic equipment available for hire to those with special needs in our community.

Needs may be intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional, behavioural or social.

Our goal is to provide good quality, educational and therapeutic toys and equipment to enrich learning experiences and promote development.

We welcome children and adults with special needs or anyone supporting them to join the Special Needs Library.

Volunteers

We rely on our team of dedicated volunteers, whose work provides the backbone of our organisation and without whom the library could not function

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the library. Even if you can only spare a couple of hours a month it would help our cause, all we ask is a little commitment
