Business and Industry Library

To cooperate with the opening of the Hong Kong Central Library in 2001, part of the City Hall reference collection was transferred to the Hong Kong Central Library. At the same time, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department planned to set up a Business and Industry Library in the City Hall Reference Library to better serve the business and industry sectors as well as members of the general public who are interested in these subjects.

Following the completion of the first phase of the City Hall Public Library Renovation Project, the plan of setting up the Business and Industry Library was realized. The Business and Industry Library, located at the 11^th floor of City Hall Public Library, came into operation in September 2003. In addition to the present collection of over 30,000 volumes of business and industry reference books, the Library also stocks materials such as journals, microforms, CD-ROMs and Online databases.
