Group Visits Arrangements
The PolyU Library welcomes all visitors. We offer several ways to explore our facilities:
Immediate Entry for Staff and their Guests
All academic and administrative staff of PolyU, along with general grade staff from AAO, CPA, GEO, MDO, OIA and RIO, can bring up to 10 guests (upper secondary level or above) for immediate self-guided visits during library opening hours. No prior approval is needed. Simply present your staff card to the security guard at Library entrance. Staff must accompany their guests throughout the visit. Contact the Library's Service Counter at 2766-6864 for details.
Organising Your Own Self-guided Tour
PolyU Staff/Departments can organise a self-guided tour for a larger group by submitting a request at least 3 working days and up to 14 working days in advance. Self-guided tours should be conducted between 9 am – 5 pm Monday to Saturday. No tours will be arranged during the revision and examination periods to minimise disturbances to our users. The requester is responsible for leading the tour. Submit your request and view full details here.
