In view of the very high demand for study space, the Library will implement the Limited Access Arrangement for JULAC Borrower/Reader Card Holders (students only) during the Revision and Examination Period from 14 Apr - 13 May 2025. Access to the Library by students of other UGC institutions will be limited to non-peak hours (7:01pm - Library closing time) of the day only.

Please refer to the Limited Access Arrangement for Student JULAC Card Holders webpage for details.

The Library is here to support your additional studying needs during the Revision & Examination Period from 14 Apr to 13 May 2025.
 

Extended Opening Hours to 24:00  

During this period, the Library will open from 08:30 to 24:00, Monday through Sunday. Counter services will be available until 22:00 on weekdays (Monday - Friday) and until 19:00 on weekends (Saturday - Sunday) and public holidays. 

24-Hour Study Centre  

To make necessary arrangement for after-hour access, all users will be required to leave the 24-Hour Study Centre 15 minutes before the Library Counter closes. Once the clearance procedure is complete, only current PolyU/CPCE staff and students enrolled on programmes leading to PolyU/PolyU-SPEED/PolyU-HKCC awards can enter the Centre via the entrance at 1/F North Wing opposite to the Campus Control Centre (P111). 
 

Study Carrels for Quiet Study

Study carrels for individual quiet study are available at G/F South Wing, 3/F South Wing, 4/F South Wing and 5/F.
 

Freeing up Seats with Unattended Personal Belongings

Please be considerate to the needs of fellow students who are also studying for examinations. Do not reserve seats with personal belongings. When seat occupancy is high during peak hours, Library staff will place a reminder at desks with unattended personal belongings. If the desk remains unoccupied after a specified period, Library staff will remove the unattended belongings to free up the desk for other users. Removed personal belongings can be claimed from the P/F Service Counter. Unclaimed items will be sent to the security after counter closing time.
 

Examination Paper Database to Help with Revision

Reviewing past papers can help familiarise you with question formats and timing different types of questions. The PolyU Examination Paper Database collects digital copies of examination papers from academic departments of the University. Availability depends on each department's submission. 

Priority for PolyU Students in Using Library Study Space
The Library will implement the Limited Access Arrangement for JULAC Student Card Holders to restrict access for students from other universities before 19:00.  As other local university libraries may have similar arrangement during their examination period, please check their webpages if you plan to visit them.

Help with Finding Library Resources
If you need help finding print or electronic resources for examinations or assignments, please approach our Library staff or send your enquiries via online form.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the new PolyU Library History website! This extensive chronicle invites you on a captivating journey through the Library's evolution, highlighting the key moments that have transformed it into the vibrant learning hub it is today.

Starting from the I.C.I. Library at the Hung Hom campus and the Quarry Bay Centre, the Library has evolved in tandem with the University. Significant milestones include the consolidation of services into our present building in 1976, the renaming in honour of Sir Yue-kong Pao in 1995, and the cutting-edge 6th-floor extension completed in 2022.

The website also features notable accomplishments, such as the introduction of Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL), the award-winning READ@PolyU and MakerMindset@i-Space programmes, and the launch of the Outstanding Work by Students (OWS) Showcase.

Whether you’re a student, faculty member, or alumnus, there’s something for you to explore and reminisce about. Visit this new website today and delve into our rich legacy that supports your academic success.
