Donate a Book at SM Malls and Help Spread Literacy in 2025

Want to donate a book? Good news — SM Malls nationwide are still encouraging book donations through the SM Book Nook Book Donation Drive this year.

What to know about the Donate-A-Book promo

Instead of offering discounts like in previous years, the 2025 initiative focuses on supporting public libraries, affiliate libraries, and SM Book Nook reading hubs across the Philippines.

You can donate pre-loved or new books, and even school supplies, at designated collection points in participating SM Malls. Every donation contributes to expanding access to reading materials for children and communities nationwide.

The drive accepts:

• Individual books in good condition

• Packs of notebooks or complete school sets (backpack, notebooks, rulers, pens)

Donors can provide multiple items at a time, helping more communities with every contribution.

Why it matters

Since its early editions, the Donate-A-Book campaign has inspired Filipinos to share the gift of learning. Over the years, SM initiatives have successfully gathered hundreds of thousands of books and school supplies, helping children and schools across the country.

This year, SM Book Nook aims to expand reading access even further by supporting local libraries and establishing more reading hubs nationwide.

Join the campaign and share the joy of reading!

Head to your nearest participating SM Mall today, drop off a book or school supply, and be part of a movement that encourages literacy and learning across the Philippines.
