Since 1973, Connors Toy Library has been supporting Portsmouth Families.

Connors Toy Libraries has been a trusted part of the community for over five decades, proudly celebrating 52 years of service this year. Since our founding, we have been dedicated to supporting families and helping children thrive through play. We offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where families can access a wide range of quality toys, resources and support. Our work extends across three main areas: Outreach Support for families who need extra help & support. Community Toy Library Groups that bring families together. Toy Store where members can join and borrow toys that inspire creativity, learning and joy. Mobile Toy Library brings play directly to families wherever they are, including refuges, hostels, hotels and temporary accommodation. At Connors Toy Libraries, we believe that every child deserves the chance to play, explore and grow, regardless of background or circumstances. Through the support of our community, partners and dedicated team, we continue to make that vision a reality year after year.

Supporting Portsmouth families through meaningful moments and lasting impact.

What Family’s Say

CTL plays a vital role in Portsmouth’s Communities – here’s what a few say about us

The collections are impressive, and the kids had their best time ever! They also have play sessions in some libraries.

This is such a great local service, it’s definitely worth the annual membership fee to be able to access the huge library of all kinds of toys. The staff are always very friendly, welcoming and helpful as well.

Great that my children can lend any toys. Brilliant idea and very friendly staff work here.

Really amazing place, what an amazing Job they do here for the community.
