Donating Books to the Germanic-American Institute 

Thank you for your interest in donating books to the GAI. Due to space constraints, the GAI is not able to accept any book donations at this time.

If you are looking to donate current children's or young adult books in German (published within the past 5 years), you may wish to contact the Twin Cities German Immersion School to see whether they would be interested in adding items to their library.

If you have older books containing historical maps or any records of births, deaths, or marriages, you may wish to contact one or more of the local genealogical groups to see if they are interested in additions to their archives.
