Books Are Gems

My mother used to bring my daughter to Books are Gems when she was very little. They would select a brand new book, and six gently used books to keep for free. Now, in cleaning out my late parent's home, we returned there, boxes of books in hand, and donated them so that they will be available for others to take home and enjoy. There is a huge selection of nonfiction and fiction books available for sale in a separate room. No title costs over $1. This wonderful treasure has been open for many years, and I hope it continues for many more.

Do have children's books that your kids can't use anymore?? Or do know a teacher or someone retiring or someone in need of dejunking and getting rid of GOOD books. Please donate them here!!This is such a great cause. They allow children to come here and get books a minimum of once a month and get 5 free used books and 1 free new book. What a deal. Great summer activity to go and stockpile for summer reading. And at the same time donate the books your children don't need so other kiddos can enjoy themThey also donate to new teacher classrooms and start them with 20 free books. El Paso children need access to books and this is another great place to gain that access

This place! We adore this place. It has been amazing to see their evolution as they continue growing. Here's how it works... Kids get one new book for free and I believe up to five used ones. Unless you are an educator, then you get a higher number. I haven't been here in over a year, and this information may have changed. Please verify. :) The point is: free books. No excuses. Can't buy books, don't like the library? Here's your option. We have found many treasures here, a lot of classics and resource materials. This is our go to place to donate our books. Makes me feel better to exchange books rather than just pick free books that can be used by people that need them more. Just a win-win for us. They put together many activities throughout the year. Be on the look for those. Books are Gems, but so is the team behind this entity.

We loved this place while living in El Paso. If you homeschool then you have a lot of resources to choose from and the kids have plenty books to choose from. Stop by and check this place out.

This is a super fantastic place to find used books!!Their supply is by donations and so you can find some really good books d and new!!Please support this book store they are Amazing!!
