Today we met two lovely gentlemen from the Lions Club of Christchurch South Ferrymead. They brought in and gifted to us some beautiful wooden toys made by the volunteers at The Santa Claus Toy Workshop. Each year the volunteers at the Santa Claus Toy Workshop make over 1000 toys to be given away. The Lions club are one of the many organisations that help distribute these wonderful toys. HUGE THANK YOU to The Santa Claus Toy Workshop and The Lions for this very kind and generous donation.

A Big Thanks to the Inner Wheel of Christchurch West for their generous donation which enabled us to purchase two Tonie Boxes and eight character Tonies. Every Tonie character plays music and tells stories. The Tonie Box system promotes auditory listening skills, manipulation skills and encourages time away from screens. Tonies are a fun and interactive resource and will be a very popular addition to our library.
