BOOKS FOR LOVE @ $10

Sponsored by Swire Properties, ‘BOOKS FOR LOVE @ $10’ promotes the joy of reading in an eco-friendly and affordable way while contributing to a meaningful cause.

Since its launch in 2009, this annual programme has received enthusiastic and continuous support from customers, tenants and the general public. Now in its 14th edition, the campaign’s cumulative fundraising has successfully crossed the HK$10 million milestone, generating a sustained and far-reaching positive impact on the community.

At the beginning of each year, a territory-wide book collection campaign is launched. The collected pre-loved books are carefully sorted and categorised by Swire Properties Community Ambassadors together with volunteers from two NGO partners. The programme kicks off with a popular online children’s book sale, followed by an 8-day physical charity sale at Taikoo Place, where all books are sold at HK$10 each.

Each year, the initiative gives hundreds of thousands of pre-loved books a new life, promoting resource recycling, while attracting over 58,000 book lovers to Taikoo Place and raising more than HK$1.72 million in donations. All proceeds are fully donated to support the “Treasure Trove” programme by The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA), as well as the Agency for Volunteer Service (AVS), to advance the sustainable development of volunteerism in Hong Kong. The programme mobilises around 7,000 volunteers across generations annually, showcasing the strong social bonding and spirit of giving within the community.

In addition, “BOOKS FOR LOVE @ $10” curates a diverse range of reading and family engagement experiences, including interactive storytelling showtime, character parades, parent’s talks, and a variety of innovative workshops in collaboration with various community partners. The programme continues to evolve, using engaging and immersive reading experiences to strengthen connections and to foster a city-wide reading culture.
