I love to read and visiting libraries when I travel is mandatory, and this library is nothing but IMPRESSIVE! It's right next to my hotel so I could wake up in the morning to browse around before I start my tourist activities. Hong Kong people have it so good!

Facing Victoria Harbour, the 12-storey high building occupies a gross area of 9,400 square metres (101,000 sq ft) with a floor area of 33,800 square metres (364,000 sq ft). The building cost of the Central Library was HK$690 million ($88 million). The Library's collections amount to one fifth of the Hong Kong Public Libraries System; 2.3 million items out of the total 12.1 million items.

The library's 11th floor houses the HKPL head office. The arch-shaped doorway atop the front facade of the Hong Kong Central Library symbolises the Gate to Knowledge, while the triangle, square and circle which make up the arch all carry further meaning. The circle represents the sky, the square the land and the triangle the accretion of knowledge. When it was originally proposed, the design was controversial and received critiques from Urban Council members.

Nice quiet reference section on the 10th floor with superb aerial view of the Victoria Park and a great harbour view on a clear day.

There is a great selection of books that are clean and well maintained. You can spend months and months reading those books, paintings and magazines and can never seem to finish them. Even the computers, tables and chairs and the washroom are way better kept and cleaner than on the rest of the floors.

I guess part of the reason is that the 11th floor office staff is just a short staircase away. This floor has the most desk staff on duty and is smaller and the ceiling height is lower than other floors'.

The skylight ceiling is wonderful for natural lighting and is such a delight to watch on rainy days.

One annoying thing is those "discussion" rooms, mainly booked and used by students, some of them are extremely noisy and even those glass doors cannot muffle up their loud noises and laughs!

As the Hong Kong biggest library, HKCL provides a huge number of books which includes different types of knowledge and story to read and borrow. It also provides a relaxing and cozy environment for readers. However, the seat in study room is not enough, it make me can't give it 5 star

Best public library in Hong Kong. Sizeable, clean and quiet. Very suitable for anyone who loves reading. After reading, I enjoy foot and body massage in Zenxes Foot Retreat in Happy Valley too. Very professional and modern. To my surprise, I can meet many foreign residents who like Zenxes service as well. Wonderful!

Hong Kong's major library located in the center of the city. The library is right next to Victoria park. You can flip through newspapers or magazines from around the world's. Kids can be contained in the second floor. There is also a Delifrance on the ground floor. What more can you ask for?

hk central library is perfect for those who need to work in silence. At each floors is found everything you need and you can have a tea time at the French bakery situated at ground floor. Highly recommended.

HK Central Library is excellent.
It's quiet and complete. There's and expansive map collection and periodicals from everywhere.
They even have American Bee Journal. Does your library have ABJ?

For sure the best public library in HK. It has a lot of books with a long opening hours. Environment is good too as it is really quiet in the library.

The place is quite quiet, so I can really enjoy reading books there. I especially loved the kids zone, which the decorations are pretty interesting. I recommend you guys go and check it out.

A great library with many books and facilities. I take some stars aways because of the staff at the front desk. Quite rude and not helpful especially when I told them I do not speak Chinese.

When trying to issue a card for my son, nobody was helpful. Told me to get my own forms. I ended up with the wrong forms. Then they told me my visa wasn't up to date even though it was. Two people were especially rude and made us feel like unwanted foreigners.

While I recommend this library for all the wonder usage of books. Absolutely hate the staff here.
