Founded in 1986, Ludothèque Schtroumpf serves Neyruz and the surrounding villages from the municipal complex, below the gym hall, at Route d'Onnens 5. It lends games and toys to everyone, young and less young, and also offers Tonies figurines: stories, songs and adventures to listen to.
Two weekly sessions set the rhythm of the place: Wednesdays from 15:00 to 17:00 and Saturdays from 09:00 to 11:00. Free parking is available on site, which makes visits easier with children or bags of games to return.
Run by a committee of five toy librarians, the toy library relies on a team of around twenty volunteers, a fine village effort built around the pleasure of play.

How do you make a lake? In 1948, an 83-metre concrete wall blocked the Sarine and flooded a whole valley: Lake Gruyère was born. The Rossens dam is discovered from its surroundings, with an easy 2.3-kilometre walk along the water.

Fancy a short walk that leaves a long memory? Between the Rossens dam and Pont-la-Ville, a 105-metre metal footbridge runs ten metres above Lake Gruyère. Free, spectacular, and walked as a loop in less than an hour with the children.

Ludothèque Com. Villars-sur-Glâne
Villars-sur-Glâne, 1752
Trying a game on site before taking it home: that is one of the strengths of the municipal toy library of Villars-sur-Glâne, where the team gives personalised advice to steer everyone towards the right box. The loan then runs for three weeks, ample time to check whether the game deserves a permanent place in the family cupboard. The toy library, based at Route des Martinets 10, welcomes families as well as schools, clubs and institutions. Loans are also possible for special occasions such as birthdays, and annual memberships are available. Sessions take place twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays from 15:30 to 18:00: two late-afternoon slots that are easy to combine with the school run.
Ludothèque du Gibloux
Vuisternens-en-Ogoz, 1696
At the foot of the Gibloux, the Vuisternens-en-Ogoz toy library lends games and toys to families in the municipality three times a week: Tuesdays and Fridays from 15:30 to 17:30, and Saturdays from 09:00 to 11:00. It is closed during school holidays. Located at Route de la Pépinière 20, it is a member of the Swiss Federation of Toy Libraries and holds Procap certification attesting to the accessibility of its premises, a guarantee of a welcome for everyone. As in any toy library, games are borrowed for a limited time before returning to the shelves: a way to regularly refresh the boxes at home and keep pace with children's changing tastes throughout the school year.
Ludothèque Marly
Marly, 1723
No membership is needed to get started at the Marly toy library: each game can be hired individually, for 2 to 5 francs, or through an annual membership of 30 to 50 francs for regular borrowers. Bundles are also available for birthdays. The collection holds more than 1,000 games to borrow, « for young and old from 0 to 99 »: an economical way to discover new titles before giving them as gifts, or simply to change games with the seasons. Sessions take place at Chemin des Epinettes 2, on Wednesdays from 13:30 to 16:00 and Saturdays from 09:30 to 12:00. The toy library also regularly looks for volunteers to staff these slots, a note to game lovers with a little time to give.
