In the heart of Lavaux, the Les Chatons toy library lends games and toys in Chexbres, exactly as a library does with books. The place is open to everyone: children, adults, institutions and schools all find something to suit them, and anyone can come and refresh their stock of games as the seasons go by.
Items are borrowed for four weeks, with extensions possible subject to availability, plenty of time to get the most out of a game before bringing it back. In keeping with the times, payment by TWINT is accepted.
The toy library opens two afternoons a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays from 15:30 to 17:30, at Chemin de la Croisée 6. An easy stop to combine with the school run.

Ludothèque Papayou
Attalens, 1616
Every Monday afternoon, from 15:00 to 18:00 (except during school holidays), Ludothèque Papayou opens its doors to families from Attalens and the surrounding area, in the Fribourg Veveyse. You will find it in the civil defence shelter of the primary school, in the yellow building « Les Blés ». The shelves mix skill games, board games, educational games and both indoor and outdoor toys: enough to equip an afternoon at home as well as a fine day in the garden, without having to buy every new release. Membership remains affordable: 25 francs for six months or 40 francs for the year. A simple formula for regularly refreshing children's games as ages and seasons change.
Ludothèque La Cigale
Savigny, 1073
A non-profit association run by volunteers, the La Cigale toy library in Savigny offers more than 1,300 games and toys, available to borrow for four weeks. Its trained toy librarians advise families and have expertise in working with children who have DYS difficulties. Games evenings, including "expert games" evenings, are held regularly, and a billiard table is freely available during opening hours, a little extra that regulars appreciate. Annual membership is set at 48 francs. Openings take place twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays from 17:00 to 18:30, on Route du Collège: end-of-day slots that make it easy to drop in and pick out a game after school or work.
