SM Cares Delivers Over 70,000 Books to Library Communities Nationwide

SM Cares wrapped up its 40th anniversary with a nationwide act of generosity, collecting over 70,000 pre-loved books from 88 SM malls to support public libraries and community reading spaces across the Philippines. This means more families, students, and educators now have access to better learning resources — turning libraries into livelier, more inspiring places to read, study, and grow.

The books were formally turned over to 88 partner community libraries, along with recognition for librarians who champion literacy in their local communities. Through programs like Book Nook, SM Cares continues to create meaningful opportunities for Filipinos to learn, connect, and nurture a lifelong love for reading.
