Books for Love @ $10Taikoo Place 00:00
We’re sure bookworms everywhere are already compiling their TBR lists for 2025, so in the spirit of spreading the joy of reading, why not donate some of your old books or tomes from last year’s ‘did not finish’ pile? Swire Properties’ beloved annual charity sale Books for Love @ $10 is coming up later in the year, and they’ve just kicked off the month-long book collection drive.
Until January 31, you can drop off pre-loved books at 44 collection points across Hong Kong – just make sure they’re in a good enough condition for sale. Books that are marked, with missing pages, mouldy, or stained will not be accepted, nor will textbooks, magazines, guidebooks, computing books, or fortune-telling books.
High-quality children’s books will be available on their online pre-sale from March 25 to April 15, while the eight-day main book sale will take place from May 8 to 18. As always, all proceeds from the Books for Love @ $10 event will go to the Treasure Trove project by The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong, as well as the Agency for Volunteer Service to develop sustainable volunteerism.
Keep an eye on our website for more information when it gets closer to the actual book sale, but for now, start weeding out your personal libraries.
