Hong Kong Polytechnic University Pao Yue-Kong Library

The Pao Yue-Kong Library is the main library at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and provides learning resources across all the university's programs. The building houses books, digital databases, computer stations, and specialized materials supporting research and study in multiple fields.

The library was established in 1972 when the polytechnic was founded and has grown alongside the institution's expansion. Its shift from physical collections to digital resources mirrors changes in how academic libraries serve their communities.

The library reflects the university's focus on practical studies and serves as a meeting point for students across different programs. People from engineering, business, and health sciences gather here to study, research, and work on projects together.

Visitors can borrow books, work at computers, and access online databases to support their research and study needs. Authentication is required for using resources outside the campus, so it helps to know this before coming in.

The library has strict rules to prevent mass downloading of digital materials and protect intellectual property rights. This makes it a secure place for legitimate academic research and study work.
