What is Read-Cycling

Read it  。  Love it  。  Share it

Founded in 2009, Read-Cycling (IR No 91/10408) is one of a very few charities in Hong Kong dedicated to books and book lovers.   

We have been working hand-in-hand with like-minded organisations, schools, corporations and individuals in the past 13 years to bring a second life to used books.  

We are also committed to organising cultural activities in various formats with an aim to make reading an essential part of everyday life.

​

Since 2009, Read-Cycling has received over216,300 quality used books from book donors all over Hong Kong, helping more than 183,900 of them find new homes and thus, saved more than 1,839 trees.
