Right in the centre of Sierre, at avenue des Écoles 13, the regional toy library welcomes families three times a week: Tuesdays from 15:00 to 17:30, Thursdays from 16:30 to 19:00 and Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30.
A Click & Collect service lets you reserve your games in advance and pick them up on site, handy when you already know what you are looking for and want to avoid back-and-forth trips. Occasional openings are also organised during the summer, plenty to keep the holidays stocked with new games.
For families in the region, the toy library remains the simplest way to test games before adopting them, and to vary games evenings without multiplying purchases.
