Ludothèque Le Grand Sac
In Grand-Saconnex, the toy library is called Le Grand Sac, a place open to everyone, children and adults alike, but also to schools and institutions. Located on Chemin Edouard-Sarasin, it lends games and toys and acts as a meeting place in the village.
The lending principle has everything families could want: you try a game for a while, bring it back and pick another. Children get variety, parents avoid impulse purchases, and the cupboards never overflow.
The toy library is open three days a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 to 18:30, plus Wednesdays in the morning and from 15:30.

Ludothèque des Avanchets
Les Avanchets, 1220
Giving everyone access to quality games and toys, on site or at home, for a modest contribution: that is the mission of the Avanchets toy library on Rue du Grand Bay. It sees itself as a place of meeting and exchange, intended to encourage the pleasure of playing and to build connections between people and families in the neighbourhood. Activities are organised there, and groups from institutions are also welcomed. The toy library is open four afternoons a week, Tuesday to Friday, with an extended slot on Wednesdays from 14:00 to 18:00. A quick stop at the end of the day is enough to return a finished game and leave with something new.
Ludothèque La Marelle
Geneva, 1203
Several thousand games and toys await visitors to Ludothèque La Marelle on Route des Franchises in Geneva. Designed as a neighbourhood meeting place, it sees children and parents come to play together on site, freely and at no charge. To keep the fun going at home, borrowing is subject to an annual membership of 30 francs per family, far less than the price of two new games, for a selection that changes with every visit. The toy library is open Tuesday to Saturday, with several morning slots and Saturdays from 09:30 to 12:30. Children under 6 must be accompanied by an adult.
Ludothèque des Libellules
Châtelaine, 1219
In Châtelaine, in the municipality of Vernier, Ludothèque des Libellules makes games and toys available to families in the neighbourhood. The idea is simple: rather than buying a game that may end up at the back of a cupboard, you borrow it, try it at home, then bring it back and pick another. For children, it is a chance to regularly discover new board games and toys without cluttering the flat. For parents, it is an affordable way to keep things fresh and to find something to do on Wednesdays or rainy days. Games and toys can be borrowed by families from the Châtelaine neighbourhood and, more broadly, from Vernier, in the canton of Geneva.
