Fanling Public Library

Fanling Public Library, Public library in North District, Hong Kong.

Fanling Public Library occupies about 2,200 square metres on the second floor of Luen Wo Hui Municipal Services Building at 9 Wo Mun Street. It opened on 6 January 2003 with adult and children's libraries, a newspaper reading room, some 120,000 books, over 6,000 physical multimedia items and 4,400 reference books. The children's library, designed by Yip Siu-ka, features a seven-colour wave bench.

In April 1999 the government sought HK$67.6 million to build municipal facilities in Area 19 of Luen Wo Hui. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department judged the 300-square-metre Cheung Wah Estate library insufficient for about 300,000 residents, so it created a 2,200-square-metre library here. Fanling Public Library opened on 6 January 2003; the same month the Cheung Wah Estate library closed, drawing complaints from North District councillors. The municipal building was officially opened on 22 March 2003.

The library sits on the second floor of Luen Wo Hui Municipal Services Building, a block named after the old market it replaced rather than after Fanling, where it stands. Its children's section, designed by Ip Siu-ka, uses a seven-colour wavy bench because he found other Hong Kong libraries identical.

The library occupies the second floor of Luen Wo Hui Municipal Services Building at 9 Wo Mun Street, sharing the block with a market, sports centre and community hall. It opened on 6 January 2003 with about 2,200 square metres, replacing the roughly 300-square-metre library in Cheung Wah Estate, which closed the same month. The children's section, designed by Yip Siu-ka, uses a seven-colour wave bench.

The children's library was designed by Yip Siu-ka, who rejected the uniform look of other Hong Kong libraries and installed a seven-colour wavy bench to make the space friendlier. In 2003 the Dutch magazine Frame praised the library as one of seven outstanding contemporary public library designs.
