Philippines – Book Nook, a learning hub powered by SM Supermalls, is expanding its activities lineup as it celebrates the significance of storytelling and creativity.
The initiative, which transforms spaces within SM Supermalls into literary hubs, is launching art workshops, cultural activities and storytelling sessions at SM Aura and SM Podium. The activities are tailored for families, students, and aspiring creatives.
Going beyond a reading space, Book Nook now allows its participants to enjoy watercolour painting, lantern-making, and comic strip design.
Book Nook also hosts various literary events, including live poetry readings, silent book clubs, and book launches. It also helps people connect with international cultures through cultural events like ‘Tikoy 101’ and ‘Book Nook Reading Festival.’
Additionally, Book Nook and SM Supermalls have launched the first ‘Australia Corner’ at SM Podium, attended by SM Supermalls president Steven Tan and Australian Ambassador HK Yu.
“Stories bring people together. Through Book Nook, we celebrate creativity while making learning accessible to all,” Architect Shereen T. Sy, pioneer of Book Nook, said.
Book Nook is SM Supermall’s community-driven free library, where mallgoers can browse or take home books if they donate another.
