The establishment of the CPCE (College of Professional and Continuing Education) Libraries came along with PolyU Hung Hom Bay Campus and PolyU West Kowloon Campus.

The branch at PolyU Hung Hom Bay Campus is a two-storey library; and the branch at PolyU West Kowloon Campus is a three-storey library. The design, facilities, and setting of the two libraries provide an environment that caters for different kinds of study and learning modes. Both libraries are fully covered by wireless LAN, altogether equipped with nearly 300 Internet-connected computers, and providing a seating capacity of more than one thousand in a variety of user areas that meet users' needs of self-study, group study and discussion, self-learning, collaborative learning, and leisure reading.

The Collections

Focusing on disciplines of Humanities, Communications, Social Science, Science, Technology, Business and related disciplines, the Library collections are built up with a combination of ownership and access, well mix of physical items and electronic resources made available through purchase, subscription, demand-driven acquisitions, and in-house development. While the College Archives is specifically built to document the development of the College, the collections of Self-learning Language Materials is established to support the personal language learning. As at June 2023, the collection of the CPCE Libraries as a whole consisted of more than 485,000 items, including books, serials, newspapers, electronic journals, electronic newspapers, electronic books, online audio books, electronic dissertations and theses, multimedia materials, online talks, and video programmes.

All the materials and facilities cater for the teaching and study needs of the programmes in the PolyU Hung Hom Bay and PolyU West Kowloon Campuses through Hong Kong Community College (HKCC) and  School of Professional Education and Executive Development (SPEED).  For details, please  click here.
