A book can entertain, educate and inspire. It can even change the way we see the world. Yet once it has been read, it often spends years sitting untouched on a shelf.
With the 2027 school year just around the corner, Pam Golding Properties Hyde Park is inviting our community to give those books a new chapter. The Turn the Page Book Drive 2026 aims to collect 2,000 new or good-condition books, so that more learners can start the year with something new to read.
Every book is another story shared
A child discovering the joy of reading. A teenager finding the book that sparks a new interest. An adult gaining access to stories and knowledge they might never have encountered. Books keep giving long after their first owner has finished with them.
We are collecting books for children aged 3 to 18, as well as adult readers, to support schools, shelters and community centres.
What you can donate
- New or good-condition books (adult and children’s, fiction and non-fiction)

Your bookshelf could start someone else’s story
Meaningful change does not always need a grand gesture. Sometimes it starts with opening a cupboard and choosing to pass something on.
A storybook that has been outgrown can find a new little reader. A novel you have already enjoyed can become someone else’s escape, just in time for the first day of school.
So, before you throw something out, give it another purpose. Donate your books before the new school year begins.
Donate a book, educate the nation because a reader today is a leader tomorrow.
