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.

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.

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.
