Library Renovation
Dear Friends,?
Great news! The library renovation project has begun!?
The project will be carried out in phases and projected for completion the first quarter of 2025.
As we are still ironing out details with our contractors, the dates below are subject to change.
Timeframe:?
L2-L3 Toilets? Sep? –? Nov
L4 Toilets? Nov – Jan
L2-L3 Library relocation? Oct/Nov? (TBD)
L2-L3 Library renovation? Oct/Nov – Jan/Feb
When our books are moved to their temporary locations, we will ensure that Course Reserves and Chinese books are always available.? We encourage our English users to make use of the e-resources in the DTL during the renovation period.
Thank you so much for your understanding and for bearing with the inconvenience in the coming months. ?
We look forward to providing updates about our services and operation of the Library when the relocation plans are approved.
Thank you for supporting the library！

Mar 10 –We are deeply grateful and delighted to announce that the renovation of the library is completed! At the moment, we are eagerly awaiting the release of the “Temporary Occupation Permit” (TOP) from the authorities.
The interior design and layout you see is the result of rounds of imagining and reimagining. From colour scheme to dimmable lighting to the seating design of each zone, every aspect has been researched and tested, with the hope that our library will be an inviting and welcoming space for all.?
We are about building up the community through reading, contemplation, and dialogue; where ideas intersect, life stories resonate, and spiritual transformation take place and continue beyond our walls.
We plan to conduct a “soft opening” before the official launch. You will have the honour to be among the first to experience the new library and provide us with your feedback and suggestions, so the library can continue to improve to serve you better. Do continue to remember the library in your prayers. Thank you.
