Located on the 1/F of the Library, the Late Reading Room is a cosy and collaborative commons that supports quiet reading and private study.

The Late Reading Room serves as a learning hub to meet students’ quiet study needs and is available overnight. The Room provides students with 6 large study tables and 60 seats on a first-come-first-served basis. High Use Books are for overnight access. You may check them out at the Self-Checkout Station and sterilise them with the book steriliser outside the Room.

The new Computer Room, connected to the Late Reading Room, will also be open for overnight access except during the cleaning time. In addition to Wi-Fi connections and power sockets, the Computer Room is equipped with Notebook Computers, Multi-Function Printers (MFP), and toilets.

For users’ safety, security guards are stationed outside the Room to patrol the overnight study area regularly.
