WHAT THE
TLFNZ STANDS FOR
VISION STATEMENT
The Toy Library Federation of New Zealand acts as an adviser
to new and existing toy libraries, offering advice on toy
selection, toy maintenance, and all aspects of running a toy
library.
Membership is open to anyone interested in not for profit
Toy Libraries.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Toy Library Federation of New Zealand actively promotes
play, as being essential to optimal educational, physical,
psychological, social and cultural development of the child.
HISTORY
Rotorua was the venue for a Toy Library National Conference
in 1980. There it was decided that the New Zealand Toy
Library Association should be set up. In 1981 this became a
reality, with the formation of the "Toy Library Federation
of New Zealand".
THE PURPOSE
The Toy Library Federation of New Zealand is a National body
that most toy libraries belong to. The Toy Library
Federation of New Zealand exists to:
Encourage and develop not for profit toy libraries.
Support the high standard of service of toy libraries within
New Zealand.
Co-ordinate toy library activities such as seminars and
conferences, to liaise with toy libraries through regular
newsletters.
Encourage safe use of toys and educational aids.
Foster co-operation between existing libraries.
Gain recognition for toy libraries as a resource catering
for the needs of the family.
THE CONCEPT
A place where well designed, safe and educational toys can
be borrowed on a regular basis at minimal cost.
A place where there is access to a large range of quality
toys.
A place with the opportunity to interact with other
families.
A place which provides a chance to use toys that match the
stages of a child's development.
