Ludothèque de Porrentruy
With more than 4,000 games and some 410 members, the Ludothèque de Porrentruy is one of the best stocked in the district. Based at the Hôtel-Dieu, at Grand-Rue 5, it is open to everyone and lets you discover and borrow games and toys right in the heart of the old town.
A team of fourteen toy librarians welcomes and advises visitors five days a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 15:30 to 18:00, Wednesdays from 14:00 to 17:00 and Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00.
Life here goes well beyond lending: children's activities, games evenings, school visits and an annual swap punctuate the year, and the toy library also takes part in the Passeport-vacances.

Ludothèque de Haute-Sorne
Bassecourt, 2854
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 des Franches-Montagnes - Les Genevez
Les Genevez, 2714
The principle is simple: borrow, play, return. The Les Genevez branch of the Franches-Montagnes toy library applies it for the whole village, with board games, outdoor games and games for young children. It is housed in the municipal services building, to the west of the village, and opens twice a week: Mondays from 13:30 to 15:00 and Wednesdays from 16:30 to 18:00, the second slot comes just in time to choose a game once school is out. For the very young, borrowing toys makes it possible to match the equipment to each stage of development, without investing in things that will only be used for a few months.
Ludothèque des Franches-Montagnes - Saignelégier
Saignelégier, 2350
This branch of the Franches-Montagnes toy library is housed in the Hôtel de Ville in Saignelégier, where families from the area come to borrow games and toys. Two weekly sessions set the lending rhythm: Tuesdays from 15:15 to 17:30 and Thursdays from 17:30 to 19:00, one after-school slot and one in the early evening. As in the network's other branches, the principle is that of a lending library: borrow one or more boxes, explore them at home, then trade them for others on your next visit. For parents, it is a practical way to keep offering children new games, without multiplying purchases or overloading the living-room shelves.
