Geneva, Switzerland – Thanks to an inter-municipal agreement in the Lake Geneva area you may be able to borrow a book from a library say in Nyon, or any of six French neighboring towns, even if you are not a resident of any of those cities. Vice versa you may check out books in Geneva even if you do not reside in the jet-d’eau city. In a previous article we talked about how to get your Geneva library card. Remember the local libraries have sizable collections of English-language books for adults and children.

The agreement allows residents of Geneva, Annemasse, Divonne-les-bains, Evian, Gex, Thonon-les-bains, St-Julien-en-Genevois and Nyon that hold library cards from their towns, to borrow books from any of the libraries mentioned. In addition to the library card you will be required to present a second ID that shows your place of residence.

Now, no more excuses why not to read that 14-book series you started reading a decade ago but for which there are no sequels in your local library.
