DECLUTTERING BOOKS? WE GOT YOU!

Bookspine PH's BookDonate program helps you make good use of your pre-loved reads by donating them for a good cause.

WHAT IS BOOKDONATE?

BookDonate, an initiative by BookSpine PH, aims to support non-profit organizations with the advocacy of spreading literacy among Filipino children.

Through BookDonate, people can donate all kinds of books and supplies which are then sold on the BookSpine PH platforms - significant part of proceeds from the sales are then donated to our partners like Read to Achieve Foundation.
