Closure of Group Rooms from 24 Nov 2020

[Updated on 7 Dec 2020]

Due to the resurgence of coronavirus infections in the community, effective Tuesday 24 Nov 2020, all group  rooms will be temporarily closed until further notice.  Do contact us for further clarification or enquiries.

All users are required to wear a mask properly at all times when they are inside the Library. Users should not move the tables and chairs so as to keep a safe social distance.

Access by JULAC Library Card holders

Access to PolyU Library for JULAC Library Card holders is temporarily suspended until further notice due to reduced seating and examination period. During this period, students and staff from other JULAC institutions can still access our books using the HKALL service. Should the COVID-19 pandemic situation allow, PolyU Library plans to resume access to JULAC card users around the latter half of December 2020. Details of resumption of access will be announced around mid-December.

Travel & Health Declaration for Graduate Library Card Holders & other Library Card Holders to access the PolyU campus

The University requires all students, staff, and visitors to complete the Travel and Health Declaration Form at the campus entrances before they are allowed entry to campus since February 2020. All valid Library Card holders (Graduate, Special Borrower, Reader, etc.) who would like to access the Library are therefore required to complete the Form upon their first-time access via the PolyU campus entrance.
