The Pâquis municipal library offers a vast collection of books and audiovisual materials, organized into separate spaces for children and adults. Visitors can access a wide range of daily newspapers and magazines. The library regularly hosts events such as storytelling sessions, exhibitions, literary evenings, and workshops.
Using repurposed Tetrapak cartons, this hands-on workshop explores drypoint engraving techniques applied to urban imagery. Participants investigate line-making through scratching, cutting and folding, and learn how to incise plates and produce prints. The session encourages observation of streets, buildings and people of Les Pâquis, guiding creative reinterpretation of the neighbourhood while developing technical skills in plate preparation, inking and printing. Each participant leaves with their engraved plate and a printed impression of their work.
