| Library and Information Services Department | | | | | <p>Our department consists of 102 service points, including 101 libraries and 1 satellite library. These service points not only loan out books, CDs and DVDs, but also provide access to electronic resources, newspapers, magazines and journals, and programmes in information-retrieval skills, lifelong learning, and storytelling. Libraries also provide a safe space for the communities we serve to study, meet, socialise, learn and read.</p> | <ul class="lrg-icon-content"><li class="lrg-icon lrg-link"><div class="list-links">
