Very good library, centrally located. Shines especially for kids with great selection of books, videogames, and reading nooks as well as a decent selection of foreign language books. For non-French speaking adults, you will only find a limited selection of fiction books on English and a useful reference section (french as a foreign language).

Pour faire court, il s'agit de ma bibliothèque préférée à Genève. Le lieu est accueillant, propre, aéré, clair et lumineux. le personnel y est de bon conseil. Les plus : l'espace enfants et certains ateliers, comme celui consacré à la conception d'une affiche en compagnie d'autres inscrits venus du monde entier (l'occasion de dérouiller ma pratique de l'espagnol :-)))).

Прекрасное место для детей и родителей! Я в полном восторге от этой библиотеки! Очень уютное, светлое и тёплое пространство, куда хочется возвращаться снова и снова. Здесь создаётся настоящая атмосфера спокойствия, вдохновения и уюта — особенно если приходить с детьми. 👶📚 Детская зона организована с любовью: удобные подушки, интересные книги, мягкий свет и ощущение безопасности. Малыши могут свободно исследовать, листать книги, играть и просто быть собой. Мне особенно понравилось, что тут не про “тишину и строгость”, а про живую, добрую атмосферу — библиотека как живая гостиная знаний.
