Started on July 7, 2025, the Book Donation Drive is under SM Supermalls’ flagship literacy program, SM Book Nook. The initiative encourages mallgoers, tenants, partners, and communities to donate quality books that will benefit children, families, and readers from all walks of life.

Fiction and nonfiction titles, academic and reference books, as well as magazines and comics, were among the materials collected through SM City Baliwag’s Book Donation Drive.
