As an initiative to make books accessible to everyone and also to nurture a culture of reading, this year's event will donate books to the Hope Foundation Thailand through its Red Readerhood Programme. The books will benefit underprivileged communities, especially children.

Shoppers are invited to contribute to this initiative by purchasing books from the Red Readerhood corner and dropping them into designated boxes allocated for this programme.

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale specialises in providing the widest selection of English books imaginable at the lowest possible prices. It has been a landmark event in Malaysia since 2009 and has toured across Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Its mission is to encourage people of all ages to discover the joys of affordable, accessible reading.

The event welcomes more than 3 million visitors a year who purchase more than 15 million books, helping to create a region-wide love for English reading that will be reflected in literacy rates.
