Swiss Federation of Toy Libraries

Let’s play together!

Play is at the heart of the Swiss Federation of Toy Libraries (SFTL), the umbrella organisation for around 330 independent toy libraries in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
We provide advice and support to toy libraries; we offer them appropriate training and we handle public relations. Our members fulfill the federation’s operating standards, ensuring a highly professional service. The SFTL offers its members opportunities to network at local, cantonal, regional, and international levels. We promote the sociocultural value of play and aim to make play accessible to all.
