Library Guide for PolyU Freshmen

Welcome to PolyU!

Your learning does not stop when you leave your classrooms! The Library is the most powerful tool to support your learning, formally when you acquire knowledge related to your classes, and informally when you extend your curiosity to anything important in your life and to your career.

Welcome to PolyU Library! As you embark on your time at university, there is a lot to discover and the Library is always here for you!

Did you missed the Library orientation conducted at the beginning of the semester? Or do you want to brush up on topics covered in the orientation sessions? 

You can now revisit the recording and slides until the end of October 2022. 

Watch the 2-min video below to have an overview of the Library. Explore this guide to find out more about the Library's spaces and resources essential to you as a freshmen!

**Some of the Library spaces and facilities are currently unavailable due to the Library Extension and Revitalisation (LER) project. View the latest updates here.

READ@PolyU is the campus-wide reading programme of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Our vision is to build an empathetic, creative, and courageous community of learners and global citizens for whom reading is a source of knowledge and creativity.

The Programme was launched in 2011 to promote a love of reading, and to date remains the only one of its kind in Hong Kong. Each year, new students are invited to pick up a free copy of the common book, and join a Book Chat Group and other exciting literary events.
