Bibliothèque de la Ville (City Library), La Chaux-de-Fonds

Since its foundation in 1838, the library has contributed to the cultural influence of La Chaux-de-Fonds. In addition to its public reading activities, it is responsible for the conservation and promotion of the audiovisual heritage of the canton of Neuchâtel, private archives and printed materials from the Neuchâtel mountains. Watchmaking occupies a prominent place in its collections: specialized magazines, posters, films and photographs allow us to grasp the history of this industry in all its richness.
