Have a look at the website of the German School in Geneva.  Maybe they can help.

There’s also a Caritas second-hand bookshop in rue de Carouge which sells books in various languages.  It’s in a passage adjoining the Police Station at, I think, No. 51.  However, better check the bookshop’s opening hours as it’s staffed by volunteers.

Best, R.

Hi,

I know that you can buy some books second hand in the recyclables, at rue de carouge . Maybe you can find something what you want:)

Thanks Gaudi.
However my post was concerning 2nd hand books for someone who would like to give them away or get rid of it.... No need them to be new.
:)

Anyway I did not know this library, so thanks ! :)
Have a nice day

Cheers .

Maybe I’m wrong but I think the outlet near place du Cirque is a book seller rather than a library –

?  However, I have occasionally seen a crate of second-hand books outside the shop, so you might find a bargain there.

Second-hand books for children are often in short supply because the original owners don’t always handle them very carefully.

R.

I've also seen kids' books in various languages in the big red boxes outside the Croix Rouge, which is on the same street as Caritas and Les Recyclables. So, a wander down that street is bound to be useful!

Good luck!

Forgot to mention: Croix Rouge is also a LENDING library. They have books in many languages!

Thank you everyone for your tips and infos ! :)

I can already imagine myself in a German interview explaining that I can speak german but not  in a professional environment.
Nevertheless, I can always step out by telling them some Cinderella or Bambi stories in German!! Why not....

:o)

Thank you !
