As part of the actions for Responsible Digital Technology, the Municipal Libraries are delighted to host an exhibition designed by the State of Geneva in partnership with the City and the association NoOps - No Obsolescence Programmée Suisse. The exhibition raises awareness about the valuable materials found in our phones by showcasing the precious metals used in their manufacture.
Visit the exhibition during library opening hours:
- October 13–31 at the Eaux-Vives Library (Rue Sillem 2, 1207 Geneva)
- November 3–21 at the Saint-Jean Library (Av. des Tilleuls 19, 1203 Geneva)

Finally, don't forget to check out the “Ecrans, parlons-en” (Let's talk about screens) events, organized in collaboration with theService de l'Enfance and Action Innocence :
If you have any old phones lying around in your drawers, drop them off with their cables in the NoOps recycling boxes located in all municipal libraries!
