Book Nook: Uniting Communities with Books and Creativity
Communities nationwide are uniting to celebrate the transformative power of storytelling and creativity through the vibrant initiative known as Book Nook. This free reading and activity space is thoughtfully designed to foster a spirit of learning, self-expression, and inclusivity among all participants.
Bridging cultures through storytelling! SM Supermalls president Steven Tan, Book Nook pioneer Architect Shereen Sy and Australian Ambassador HK Yu unveiled the first Australia Corner in Manila at the SM Podium.
This year, Book Nook is excited to broaden its horizons, moving beyond traditional book readings to feature an engaging lineup of art workshops, cultural activities, and interactive storytelling sessions held at the esteemed SM Aura and SM Podium. Families, students, and aspiring creatives are warmly invited to immerse themselves in an exploration of new ideas and diverse perspectives, igniting their imagination and enriching their experiences through the art of storytelling.
