Here at the Global Book Exchange, we are all volunteers, so please be understanding when you come to get books or bring us books. We are not like a full-service bookstore, but we always do our best to help you, and we appreciate your patience and support.

If you need school books or children’s books, you’ve found just the right place!

And if you have children’s books  that you don’t need anymore, bring them to us. We’ll find them good homes with teachers, families, and young people around the world. (Before you bring us books, please first see what kind of  books we want … thanks!) Come visit us during our open hours.  Everyone is welcome.

Teachers: Need more copies of specific texts, supplementary materials, or classroom sets of junior lit?  Looking for a teacher edition?  Want your own classroom library? Out-of-towners, need a used textbooks search?

Parents: Want to enrich your child’s education at home?

Non-Profits: Need any textbooks or library books for young people?

Service Clubs: Want to sponsor local teachers, provide a field trip for a whole class to come get books, or send books overseas or to another place in the U.S.?

School Folks: Unneeded textbooks and school library books taking up storage space or headed for your dumpster?  Don’t let them meet their fate in a landfill.  Bring them to us!
