Less frequently used monographs, media resources and bound serials or journals with electronic equivalents are housed at the Branch Library in Shatin. The Shatin Branch Library is situated on the 21st floor of Grandtech Centre, 8 On Ping Street, Siu Lek Yuen, Shatin. As these library materials are kept in closed stack areas to which users do not have direct access, library staff will help retrieve the required items for the users upon requests made electronically or in paper form.
Users can submit online requests for monographs, media resources and journals (articles or bound volumes) that are located at the Shatin Branch Library via the Library Catalogue by clicking the "Request" button at the full record of the desired item and then filling out the "Item Request Form". Requests received at or before 12 noon on a working day can be fulfilled on the same day and requests made after 12 noon will be fulfilled on the next working day (Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays). Users will be notified via email when the requested materials are ready for pick up at the Circulation Counter of the Main Library.
Free transportation arrangements can also be made for users to visit the Branch Library during normal office hours (08:30 to 17:00, Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays) to use / borrow the materials on-site.
