In 2012, the I·CARE Programme organised the first-ever I·CARE Book Festival with staunch support of alumni and teachers like Kin-sheun Louie, Lo Wai-luen, Leo Ou-fan Lee, To-kwan Lam, Felix Chao, Chan Joseph Man, Cheung Chan-fai and Jasminia Kristine Cheung.  We collected over 10,000 books for students' viewing, and each student was allowed to pick a maximum of 5 books for free.

In 2013 and 2016 respectively, the I·CARE Book Festival was re-run and received more than 40,000 second-hand books in total.  Thousands of students benefited from the enthusiasts' donations.  While the response was proven overwhelming, the book festivals had achieved their goals - to keep the books move, to facilitate knowledge transfer, to foster reading culture and to connect different CUHK people through sharing of books.
