As part of the SM Book Nook Book Donation Drive, which will begin in all SM malls nationwide on July 7, 2025, SM Supermalls, through its flagship literacy program SM Book Nook, is encouraging communities nationwide to help ignite the love of reading by contributing used books in honor of its 40th anniversary.
“Under the Same Sky: Share the Magic of Stories” is the topic of this program, which invites mall patrons, tenants, partners, and communities to contribute high-quality books that will help readers from all backgrounds, families, and children.
Some of the volumes will be donated to the National Library of the Philippines and its affiliated libraries, while others will help SM Book Nook reading hubs spread to further SM malls and partner institutions around the country.
“SM Book Nook was created to be more than a space—it’s a movement. With every book donated, we create ripples of knowledge, imagination, and inclusion. We believe that stories can bridge generations and uplift communities.” ~Ms. Shereen T. Sy, pioneer of the SM Book Nook program under SM Cares
The goal of the initiative is to gather 40,000 books in honor of SM's 40th anniversary. With specially made donation boxes positioned in key mall areas, each SM mall will act as an official drop-off station. Starting July 7, 2025, mall communities are invited to drop off pre-loved books in good condition—complete, clean, dry, and free from major damage.
Empower Communities Through Your Book Donations
Academic and reference books, children's and young adult books, fiction and non-fiction books, as well as well-maintained magazines and comics, are all accepted.
The campaign goes beyond fundraising to emphasize SM Cares' long-term goal of transforming every SM mall into a center for inclusive education, community involvement, and hope—particularly for young readers and future leaders.
SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals are the three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that this effort supports.
Visit. Drop Off. Share a Story.
Collect your gently used books and deliver them to the book donation booths in SM City Grand Central, SM City Valenzuela, and SM Center Sangandaan. By working together, we hope to inspire future generations, encourage literacy, and foster a culture of learning—one tale, one reader, and one community at a time.
