Celebrating Trish and Michael’s volunteering contributions at the Community Services Award through at our Hornsby – Kur-ring-ai Rotary Community Services Award Night
What a wonderful opportunity the Hornsby – Kur-ring-ai Rotary Community Services Award Night was to recognise the ongoing support from these valuable volunteers who are such a joy to work with.
What a fantastic opportunity we shared last weekend. Three 3 members of our Cubby House Toy Library Team attended this year’s National Toy Libraries Training Weekend in Fremantle WA!
Thank you to Toy Libraries Australia for putting together a weekend of powerful learning experiences and supporting us to be able to make the journey.

Such a well deserved award for Leonie to recognise her many years of support and dedication to the Toy Library Community!
Jigsaw puzzles are a great tool for supporting learning but do you know why? It is not just because they create great opportunities for problem solving. This is why a toy library is great as we have every type of puzzle.
