As part of the City's actions for responsible digital technology, the Municipal Libraries are delighted to host an exhibition designed by the association NoOps - No Obsolescence Programmée Suisse. Through two display cases, it raises awareness of the preciousness of the materials contained in our phones. One highlights the precious metals used in their manufacture. The other evokes “urban mines,” such as those found in our drawers... Visit the exhibition during library opening hours:

• From January 20 to February 6 at the Servette Library, Rue de la Servette 87
• From February 7 to March 7 at the Pâquis Library, Rue du Môle 17
• From March 10 to 20 at the City Library, Espace le 4e, as part of Digital D-tox Week
