Customers can check out the available books from the event on their website and social media pages.
THIRD ITERATION IN CEBU
This year’s event is the third iteration of the book sale in Cebu, with Big Bad Wolf previously coming to the city in 2018 and 2019.
Both events ran for 24 hours daily for 10 days and were previously held at the IC3 Convention Center along Cardinal Rosales Avenue near Cebu Business Park.
The first iteration offered 60% to 80% discounts, while the 2019 event offered 50% to 90%.
Big Bad Wolf also conducted its Red Readership Program at previous events by donating 500 books to Gawad Kalinga, a non-profit organization aiming to end poverty by helping the poor be more self-sufficient.
The donated books became a supply for many Gawad Kalinga community libraries and schools.
2023 will be Big Bad Wolf’s 14th year, and will be the first time the event has come to the Philippines since the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from Cebu, the event has also previously been held in Manila, Davao, and Pampanga.
So mark your calendars and get ready to browse numerous titles at this exciting book sale!
See you there!
