Run by the association Entraide Familiale de Rolle et environs, the toy library on the Grand-Rue sets out to be a warm and inclusive space, open to all. Families will find 800 regularly renewed games and toys there: board games, electronic games, wooden and plastic toys, outdoor games.
Annual family membership comes to 35 francs, a modest budget compared with the price of a single new game, for a selection that keeps changing from one visit to the next.
Opening times are spread across the week: Tuesdays from 16:00 to 18:00, Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30 and the first Saturday of the month from 10:00 to 12:00, a welcome slot for working parents.

It also lends electronic equipment, from mini-computers to video games and Tiptoi. The principle is that of a games library: you borrow, you play, you bring it back, and the children's bedroom never overflows. Three annual membership options are available, from 30 to 90 francs, depending on whether game hire is charged separately or included. On Chemin de Crève-Cœur, the library opens four days a week: Tuesdays and Fridays at the end of the day, Wednesday mornings and afternoons, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00.
