Ludothèque de Haute-Sorne
In Bassecourt, on Rue des Primevères, the Ludothèque de Haute-Sorne offers more than 900 games and toys for all ages. It opens three times a week at the end of the day: Mondays and Wednesdays from 16:00 to 17:30, and Thursdays from 17:00 to 18:30, time enough to drop by after school and pick the weekend's game.
Worth remembering: games can also be borrowed for a special occasion such as a wedding or a party, rather than buying equipment that will only be used once.
As for prices, annual membership costs 30 francs for a family and 20 francs for an individual, enough to keep the whole household's games fresh all year round.

Ludothèque Communale de Delémont
Delémont, 2800
With more than 3,000 games to borrow for a month, the municipal toy library of Delémont, at Rue des Granges 8, covers just about every kind of play: strategy, dexterity, observation, logic and knowledge games, role-playing games, musical, scientific and outdoor games. Children and adults alike will find something to enjoy, and the one-month loan leaves time to explore every box thoroughly before refreshing the selection. It also offers birthday sets and a games trail through the old town, and organises toy swaps several times a year, particularly in summer. Doors are open Tuesday to Friday afternoons (from 14:00, until 19:00 on Fridays), as well as Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00.
Ludothèque Malleray-Bévilard
Malleray, 2725
Borrowing instead of buying: that is the principle behind the Malleray-Bévilard toy library, attached to the municipality of Valbirse, which makes more than 650 games available to children and their parents. Each family member can borrow one game for four weeks, with a further four-week extension possible, plenty of time to explore each box before bringing it back. As for prices, the annual membership is set at 40 francs for a family from the municipality, 50 francs for a family from outside it and 20 francs for an individual: a modest budget for regularly refreshing the games at home. The toy library opens on Fridays from 16:00 to 18:00, as well as the first Tuesday of the month at the same times, outside school holidays.
Ludothèque de Moutier
Moutier, 2740
Four opening sessions a week (Monday and Tuesday afternoons, Friday at the end of the day and Saturday morning) make the Moutier toy library an easy fixture in the family diary. Based at Avenue de la Liberté 13, it lends games and toys to families in the Prévôté: a good way to vary children's activities without filling the cupboards, especially on rainy days. Life here does not stop at lending: the team runs activities and games evenings, using large-scale equipment such as a giant table football brought out for events. Note that the toy library is closed during the school holidays; the rest of the year, the four weekly sessions leave plenty of room to drop by and choose your next discovery.
