In Meinier, in the Geneva countryside, the toy library cultivates conviviality: people come to play on site, borrow games or simply share a warm moment. Activities are aimed at all ages, from the youngest children to teenagers.
The calendar is particularly lively: games evenings on Tuesday evenings and on the last Friday of every month, plus monthly brunches for families, plenty of opportunities to discover new games among neighbours.
During the day, the toy library is open on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 15:00 to 18:00, and on Wednesday and Friday mornings from 09:30 to 11:30. An address worth noting for families in the area looking for game ideas.

Ludothèque Belle Terre, Association des Ludothèques de Thônex
Thônex, 1226
In the new Belle-Terre neighbourhood of Thônex, this toy library at Allée Belle-Terre 18 brings together a varied selection of games, toys and books. It caters mainly for children aged 0 to 12, without forgetting local teenagers, who will also find plenty to play with. A member of the Association des Ludothèques de Thônex, it works on the lending principle: choose, take home, bring back. On rainy days, it is the obvious place to refresh the pile of games in the living room or track down a book to read under the duvet. For families who have just moved into the neighbourhood, it is also a good starting point for meeting other parents and settling into local life.
La Ludothèque de Chêne-Bougeries
Chêne-Bougeries, 1224
Running since 1983, La Ludothèque de Chêne-Bougeries describes itself as a place for play, meeting and inclusion for all ages. Located at Chemin Castan 9, it lets you borrow games, play on site or take part in the activities offered throughout the year. Its audience goes beyond families: it welcomes families as well as schools, professionals and older people, true to its vocation as a place open to every generation. As for opening times, the toy library welcomes visitors from Monday to Thursday, with morning and afternoon slots, until 18:30 on Wednesdays. A good opportunity to try a game before adopting it, or simply to refresh the family games pile without buying anything.
Ludothèque Adrien-Jeandin - Association des Ludothèques de Thônex
Thônex, 1226
Attached to the after-school division of the Fondation pour la jeunesse de Thônex, the Ludothèque Adrien-Jeandin is part of a network that runs several play and reading spaces across the municipality. Local children and families come here to borrow games and toys, on the same model as a lending library. The formula has a very practical everyday advantage: you return what has run its course, leave with something new, and your home never turns into a warehouse of board game boxes. A simple way to vary family evenings without piling up purchases. For current opening hours and membership details, the website of the Association des Ludothèques de Thônex gathers the practical information for all the municipality's facilities.
