School Partnerships

Schools are the beating heart of our programmes. Your teachers, students and parent communities are what enables us to scale our programmes – whether it is celebrating World Book Day, hosting Readathons, setting up a BMAB school club, community service or joining our school membership.

Celebrate World Book Day

World Book Day is usually recognized on 23 April each year. Some schools prefer to choose another date that suits their calendar (even an author’s birthday is a good excuse!) – and we would love to help all schools choose a day, week or even month to celebrate books and remind students of the power of reading. We have compiled a list of fun ways to promote reading, from Readathons to Bake Sales and Pajama Day.

Community Service

As educators, we understand the importance of promoting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. As the leading advocate for family literacy, Bring Me A Book Hong Kong falls under “Quality Education” and we provide wonderful volunteer opportunities for students to give back to the local community in meaningful ways while also acquiring some new skills.

World Book Day Ideas

How to Celebrate World Book Day?

Readathon: Track the number of books or the amount of time your students spend reading during a specific period, and raise money for a great cause! Watch the video and download our Readathon form templates.

Pyjama Day: Books are not just for bedtime! PJ Day is a special day where children AND teachers come to school wearing their pyjamas! Students love to see their classmates and teachers dress ‘down’ in their night gear – all for a good cause! Download the flyer here.
