The University Library was established in 1965 and was originally located in the On Lee Building in Kowloon. In August 1969, it moved to temporary quarters in the Benjamin Franklin Centre on the Shatin Campus. On December 15, 1972, Mrs. Kin May W. Tang, in memory of her late husband, Dr. Tang Ping-Yuan, officially opened the five-storey library building in the central area of the campus. To accommodate the growth of the Library’s collection and increase in users, the Library extended with the Tin Ka Ping Building in 1993 and the Library new extension building and Learning Garden in 2012. The new extension was officially named the Li Dak Sum Yip Yio Chiu Building in 2016.
