Tsing Yi Public Library

Tsing Yi Public Library

Tsing Yi Public Library (Chinese: 青衣公共圖書館) is a public library on Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. It is classified as Major District / District Libraries under the system of Hong Kong Public Libraries. Before the library was established , Hong Kong Government provided the islanders with only mobile library service.

After the completion of phase IV of Cheung Hong Estate, Tsing Yi Public Library was established on the ground floor of Hong Shing House of the estate on 21st March 1986. Although the library was small, it had one children's library, one adult library and one reference library.

The population of Tsing Yi Island continued to grow rapidly in 1980s and 1990s towards 200,000 as new housing projects in the new town completed. Regional Council decided to built a new library which was suggested in new town planning in 1980s. On 2000-01-31 the library moved to the current location, Tsing Yi Municipal Services Building. The library is on a single floor and is more spacious than the old library. Computing facilities and a newspaper reading room was introduced to the library. As the Council was disbanded, the library is then managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
