It is hoped that with the experience and insight that can be

gained from the operation of the Tsuen Wan Public Library, the Government

will be able to assess better the needs of the people for the development

of public libraries in the New Territories.

A working party comprising representatives of the Director of

Urban Services; the District Commissioner, New Territories; the Director

of Education and the Director of Social Welfare, has been set up to

examine the needs for library facilities in the New Territories and to

submit recommendations to the Government.

SUSPENSION OF WANCHAI FERRY PIER CARPARK

Metered parking at the Wanchai Ferry Pier car park will be

suspended from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday (December 7) for the opening

ceremony of the 30th Exhibition of Hong Kong Products at the Wanchai

reclamation.

However, a spokesman for the Transport Department said that

part of the car park would be re-opened afterwards.

The spokesman stressed that parking facilities for private

cars would be limited and he advised motorists to use public transport.

There would be special bus services to the fair ground, he added.
