Ludothèque La Neuveville
In the heart of La Neuveville, at Rue du Marché 10, the toy library works like a lending library for games: you borrow, play as a family, then bring the box back and discover another one. The collection holds around 1,200 games for all ages and all tastes, from board and party games to strategy, cooperative, construction and outdoor games.
The toy library welcomes families three times a week: Tuesday and Thursday in the late afternoon, plus Saturday morning, a handy slot for picking out something to fill the weekend.
Beyond lending, the team organises monthly games evenings and regularly holds a stand at markets around the region, a chance to discover new titles and share a few rounds.

Ludothèque St.Imier
Saint-Imier, 2610
Trying a game before buying it, rotating puzzles without cluttering the flat, finding a toy suited to every age: that is the whole point of the Saint-Imier toy library, which offers more than 1,400 board games, puzzles, small computers and toys. The collection is aimed at visitors of all ages: everyone will find something to fill a late afternoon or liven up a family evening. The principle is that of lending: you borrow, play, return, and leave with a new discovery. The toy library is listed among the cultural institutions of the municipality of Saint-Imier, in the Bernese Jura; practical information is available on the municipality's website.
Ludothèque Pestalozzi
Neuchâtel, 2000
In the heart of Neuchâtel, at Faubourg du Lac 1, the Pestalozzi toy library shares premises with the library of the same name. So you can drop in for stories as much as for games: hiring a game costs between 1 and 6 francs, while borrowing books and DVDs remains free, with a maximum of two reservations per user. The doors are open Tuesday to Friday from 13:30 to 17:30, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00, a welcome slot for families with busy weekdays. School classes and groups are welcomed by appointment, with a guided visit and dedicated borrowing slots. A great way to introduce children to the principle of lending, applied here to games as well as books.
