Book Nook, an open and free library initiative launched by SM Supermalls, held two key events at SM Aura in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, this July. These activities were designed to highlight the importance of literature in child development and to assist vloggers and content creators in enhancing their craft.
Celebrating National Children's Book Day
On July 16, Book Nook, in collaboration with the International Board on Books for Young People - Philippines and the Quezon City Public Library, organized a series of activities for children to mark National Children's Book Day. The event featured a puppet show, storytelling sessions, and read-aloud activities, engaging 40 children and parents from Brgy. East Rembo, Taguig City. The goal was to foster a love for reading and encourage the habit of reading among young participants.
VlogCon by Camerahaus
On July 20, Book Nook hosted VlogCon in partnership with Camerahaus, a leading photography retailer in the Philippines. The event provided an opportunity for both aspiring and experienced vloggers to learn the fundamentals of vlogging and content creation.
Over 600 participants attended, gaining insights from prominent content creators on improving their vlogs and selecting the right equipment. The event also included games, raffles, and contests, where attendees won various vlogging peripherals.
The Growing Book Nook Community
Book Nook is located on the third level of SM Aura Premier in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. Another branch is on the way and will open at The Podium in Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City.
