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.

Library Hours During Revision & Examination Period

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.

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.

The back staircase from 1/F to 3/F will be temporarily closed for renovation works from 1 to 30 Oct 2020. Please use the front staircase or elevators for accessing other floors if needed. 

Construction works for plant room extension will be carried out near the back staircase on 1/F from 5 to 31 Oct 2020. Please excuse the noise and disruption during the works period.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
