Lockhart Road Public Library

Lockhart Road Public Library, Public library in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.

Lockhart Road Public Library occupies the third to fifth floors of the Lockhart Road Municipal Services Building at 225 Hennessy Road. Opened in 1987, it houses an adult lending library, a children's library, a reference section, a newspaper reading room, a multimedia library, a promotion activity room and a students' study room. The building's design sets the library above the market floors, which recede from the north and south to improve natural light.

The library opened on 12 January 1987 on the third to fifth floors of Lockhart Road Municipal Services Building, which was inaugurated on 3 March 1987. It merged the former Wan Chai Public Library, founded in 1979 above a shop on Hennessy Road, with the small Happy Valley library. A student study room with 300 seats opened in 1998, and the library was renovated in two phases from June 2007 to January 2008.

The library opened on 12 January 1987, merging the former Wan Chai Public Library (founded 1979 in a Hennessy Road attic) and the Happy Valley Public Library. Its name comes from Lockhart Road, the street bordering the Municipal Services Building, though the building's address is 225 Hennessy Road.

The library is a short walk from Exit A2 of Wan Chai MTR Station, on a busy stretch of Hennessy Road. Since the space is spread across three floors, it helps to ask staff if you are looking for a specific section or collection.

In 2011 the library was one of six Hong Kong public libraries chosen to pilot radio-frequency identification for managing its collections. The building itself, opened in 1987, was designed by the Fei Chung Architects firm, now Chung Wah Nan Architects Limited.
