-Aims to empower the community by giving access to affordable books-
Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, a literary extravaganza, annually delivers over 2 million brand-new books, making the world of literature more accessible to Filipinos. This beloved event offers astonishing discounts of up to 95%, and the best part is, entry to the Book Sale is entirely FREE! From September 15 to October 1, 2023, between 10 AM and 10 PM, you can immerse yourself in this literary treasure trove at SM Seaside City Cebu, Lower Ground level, Cube Wing.
Big Bad Wolf Books takes pride in sourcing top-quality, pristine books from renowned publishing houses in the United Kingdom and the United States. At the core of this event lies Big Bad Wolf’s admirable CSR initiative, the Red Readerhood program, with a mission to empower underprivileged youth by generously donating books to deserving communities and schools.
For this particular endeavor, Big Bad Wolf Books has chosen to support Gawad Kalinga and The Sister School of Mary – Boystown in Minglanilla, Cebu, as the recipients of their CSR program. An impressive pledge of 1,000 books will be directed towards the GK Traveling Maleta Library, a program by Gawad Kalinga that aligns closely with Big Bad Wolf Books’ vision. Much like the Book Sale’s mission, this initiative seeks to provide literary works and foster a love for reading among less fortunate communities. The program involves lending a suitcase brimming with books to a community for one month before passing it on to another in need.
“At Big Bad Wolf, we’ve always held the belief that books possess the extraordinary power to transform lives, unlock doors to boundless opportunities, and ignite the fires of imagination. Our mission extends far beyond merely selling books; it’s about leaving a lasting, positive impact on the communities we touch. Our collaboration with Gawad Kalinga seamlessly aligns with our vision of harnessing literature as a potent force for good. Gawad Kalinga’s unwavering dedication to uplifting underprivileged communities deeply resonates with our own values. Through these meaningful partnerships, we are privileged to give back to the communities that have supported us along the way. In this instance, we are eager to further our noble mission by providing books to The Sister School of Mary – Boystown. Our gesture goes beyond merely granting access to books; it’s about providing the tools for knowledge, personal growth, and hope,” explained Andrew Yap, co-founder of Big Bad Wolf Books.
In a world where access to education stands as a cornerstone, Big Bad Wolf Books recognizes the pivotal role books play in molding young minds. During the three-week-long Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Cebu 2023, guests are invited to actively support the Red Readerhood program by purchasing books for donation at the dedicated Red Readerhood counter. This is an opportunity for all to contribute to the greater cause of spreading the joys of reading and learning to those in need.
