Books for love

Take a look at the highlights of this year’s "BOOKS FOR LOVE @ $10".

Swire Properties' hugely popular BOOKS FOR LOVE @ $10 charity book sale returned this year, with an online book sale and eight-day in-person sale at Taikoo Place in May. With the support of over 6,000 volunteers, including Swire Properties' Community Ambassadors and NGO partners, over 320,000 books were collected, sorted, and sold, resulting in a record-breaking amount of HK$1,363,519 being raised for charity partners The Boys' & Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong and Agency for Volunteer Service. To encourage children’s interest in reading, a first-of-its-kind cosplay parade was held this year, themed around beloved fairytales, with Taikoo Place transformed into a fairytale wonderland for the event.
