We are unfortunately not able to hold our annual used book sale due to space constraints, and so it has been suspended for now. Also, we cannot accept book donations. If you’d like to continue to support our school, please consider a tax-deductible financial donation or sponsoring a full or partial scholarship (email info@igsphilly.org for more information).

The entire IGS team would like to thank our long-time volunteers, donors, and customers who made this sale possible for over 10 years.

See below to learn more about the history of our used book sales.

Used Book Sale History

Immanuel’s annual used book sale offered quite literally thousands of books on all imaginable topics: Children’s books, games, and puzzles, literature, biographies, Krimis, reference works, self-help, cookbooks—every conceivable genre—you name it, we’ve got it. Nearly everything is in German, and everything is priced to sell.

All of our books, games, CDs, etc. have been donated to the school by generous folks who are downsizing or making room for new books in their own collections. We keep what we can use for the students at Immanuel. What we can’t use, we sell at the book fair. Although we’d like to raise funds for the school, our higher motivation is to place books that once graced someone’s collection back into the hands of someone else who will read them. Therefore, all books are quite reasonably priced.

In addition to the thousands of books, there are refreshments and a bake sale with German goodies. Please pay us a visit; you’ll be glad you did.
