If you’ve walked past Avenue Reverdil recently, you may have noticed something quietly taking shape just a short walk from the train station. On 17 March 2026, Nyon’s library reopens under a new name: L’INTERLUDE. This isn’t just a relocation. It’s a rethinking.
Bringing everything together on one ground-floor site at Avenue Reverdil 4, the Ville de Nyon has reshaped the library into something more central, more visible and, perhaps most importantly, more usable.
Not Just a Library Anymore
For many in Nyon, the library is more than a place to borrow books. It’s a study space during exams. A quiet corner between meetings. A Wednesday afternoon ritual with children.
The redesign reflects that wider purpose.
The entire space now sits on one level, making it easier to navigate and more accessible. The layout feels open, designed for movement rather than corridors and separation.
You’ll find:
A dedicated early childhood area
A proper gaming and manga zone, reflecting its growing popularity
More comfortable reading corners
Increased study desks for students and remote workers
It feels less compartmentalised and more like a shared cultural living room.
Longer Hours to Reflect Real-Life Rhythms
One of the most noticeable changes is practical: opening hours increase from 25 to 39 hours per week. This change acknowledges how people actually use the space. Students revising in the evenings. Families stopping by after school. Remote workers needing a focused environment. Readers simply wanting somewhere calm to sit.
The library is adapting to modern routines.
And There’s More to Come
The opening on 17 March is just the first step. The Nyon Région Ludothèque (Toy Library) will soon join the site once renovation works are complete, adding a dedicated games library to the mix. A café offer, formerly part of the adult section, will now be expanded to welcome all visitors.
The full inauguration of L’INTERLUDE – Bibliothèque, Ludothèque and Café is scheduled for 2 May 2026, when additional developments will be unveiled.
A Cultural Pause in the Centre of Town
L’INTERLUDE signals a shift in scale rather than a change of purpose. Even in an increasingly digital world, libraries remain an important part of local life. In 2025 alone, more than 63,000 people passed through its doors, borrowing close to 150,000 physical items. The redesign responds to that sustained demand with better access, longer hours and a layout suited to contemporary use.
