Founded in 2009, Read-Cycling 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 11 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 over198,000 quality used books from book donors all over Hong Kong, helping more than 153,000 of them find new homes and thus, saved more than 1,530 trees.

Through different channels, we give the books a second life. 2.
