During the visit, the library representatives had cordial and fruitful exchanges with the College Master and their colleagues. Mr. Billy Leung expressed his gratitude to the Colleges for their support and active cooperation. He introduced the main library resources and services, and listened to the expectations and suggestions of the College Master for the Library. An in-depth discussion on the arrangement of activities had been carried out for the new academic year and future cooperation projects, including setting up library booths and organizing related activities in the college during the orientation, holding various forms of information literacy workshops, themed book fairs, cultural lectures and reading clubs throughout the year, organizing e-book reading machine tours, etc. These all aimed to promote students' reading literacy, information literacy and innovation ability.
