Hong Kong Central Library
Recently, I went on a vacation to Hong Kong. I was excited to stumble upon the Hong Kong Central library located near an extremely populated and heavily traveled area of Central Hong Kong. The street side of entrance of the library offered a n art gallery and a busy public meeting area. The street level gallery had an exhibit on children’s reading and illustration with several books provided by the library as examples of artists work.
The Hong Kong Library was focused on patron use. On each floor there were multiple computer terminals which seemed to all be in use. In addition, an entire floor was a dedicated children’s library with an additional area used solely for toddler use. The ”Toy Library” is an area where children can play with toys inside an area that also has books, an extremely interesting way to get young users involved.
