Supported by the municipality of Versoix and the Loterie Romande, this local association lends games and toys to families in the area from its premises at Route de Sauverny 2. Borrow rather than buy: the principle lets you rotate the games at home as the mood takes you, without straining the family budget.
The toy library welcomes the public on Mondays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00, and on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00, a generous slot for choosing games together on the day off school.
Schools, institutions and associations can also borrow equipment, by appointment and outside public opening hours.
