Public Records Office Library on move

The reference library of the Public Records Office now situated on the mezzanine floor of the Murray Road Multi-storey Carpark Building will be moved to a new Town Reading Centre on March 13.
The centre is located on the sixth floor of the Central Government Offices, West Wing, Lower Albert Road.
To facilitate the packing of the library collection, the bulk of which are valuable original historical records requiring careful handling, the existing library will be closed to the public from tomorrow (Saturday).
A spokesman for the Government Records Service said today (Friday) the move was part of a programme to reprovision the Public Records Office.
"The opening of the Town Reading Centre will continue to cater for the needs of the public patronising the library," he added.
The Public Records Office will be moved to the Tuen Mun Government Storage Centre at 1 San Yick Lane, Tuen Mun, in April this year.
