Communities across the Philippines are embracing the joy of reading and artistic expression through Book Nook, a free reading and activity space.
This year, Book Nook is expanding its offerings beyond traditional readings, with a lineup of art workshops, cultural activities, and interactive storytelling sessions at SM Aura and SM Podium.
Through watercolor painting, lantern-making, and comic creation workshops, participants learn to tell stories through art.



Book Nook also hosts live poetry readings, silent book clubs, and book launches, creating a space where literary and artistic minds connect.
In Australia Corner at SM Podium, visitors experience international storytelling, while cultural events like Tikoy 101 and the Book Nook Reading Festival highlight diverse traditions and literature.
Families, students, and aspiring creatives are invited to visit Book Nook at SM Aura and SM Podium to experience this unique space where stories, art, and culture converge. Visitors are encouraged to bring books for donation or swapping.
