How to reserve and return a CityUHK Library Access Card?

Reservations must be made via CityUHK(DG) Library's system. The requester can collect the access card at the library’s service counter with his/her campus card.

After successful reservation, users must collect their card within 3 working days at the library service desk. Reservation will be cancelled automatically if the requester did not collect the access card on time.

The access card is valid for 7 days, starting from the date of collection. Failure to return the card on time may result in future reservation privileges.

Due to the limited number of access cards, each person can only reserve one card at a time.

Users are required to go to the CityUHK Library to pay 100 HKD for a replacement card. Borrowing privileges will be restored once the new card is received by our library.
