The PolyU Library is delighted to announce the launch of its latest digital humanities project, "Turning Grey to Green: The Green Deck Project Development Study".  Since 2012, PolyU's Green Deck initiative has been studying the transformation of the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel Toll Plaza into a vibrant and sustainable urban green space.  This project website showcases a comprehensive collection of resources, including publicity materials and reports from PolyU’s Green Deck Management Office, academic research, presentations, and media coverage. An interactive timeline provides an engaging way for users to explore the project’s progress, while other key highlights include community engagement efforts and a map showcasing activities across Hong Kong and beyond.

We invite you to visit the PolyU Library Digital Collections Portal to explore this innovative project and discover how urban spaces can be transformed into greener and more sustainable environments.

The Campus Facilities & Sustainability Office (CFSO) will conduct safety inspection and repair work to the ceiling above the compact shelves from 16 May to 31 Aug, 2025. The work will be carried out above different sections of the compact shelves in phases. The retrieval of books with Call No. T - Z will be affected during the course of work. Please approach the P/F Service Counter for assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Have you spotted a new face at the Self-Service Borrow and Return Stations on P/F? We’re excited to introduce our Book Transport Robot!

After you return your borrowed items at the self-check station, simply place them into the robot! This innovative device is designed to streamline our workflow by effortlessly transporting books from the self-check stations to the service counter.

The robot comes with advanced sensors to monitor the fullness of its bin. When it’s time to unload, our staff can easily call it back to the counter.

This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to integrating AI and digital technologies into library services, enhancing our operational efficiency and improving your library experience.

So next time you return a book, keep an eye out for our robotic helper!
