HONG KONG BRANCH
ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY LIBRARY
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1988-89
As usual, the Society Library has purchased many out-of-print items through Dr. J. Hayes' effort this year. Altogether 138 titles in 144 volumes were processed and are available in the Kowloon Central Library. It is noted that there is a gradual increase in the number of books in oriental languages. Dr. J. Hayes is still the most generous donor to the Library. It is urged that prospective donors among our members can contribute more to the building up of our collection. An additions list is available from the Hon. Librarian upon request.
From the report by the Urban Council Public Libraries Office, the usage of the Library covering the period from 1.4.88 to 21.2.89 is noted as follows:
1. No. of requests for information : 76
2. No. of books consulted : 115
3. No. of borrowers (RAS members) : 3
4. No. of books checked out (by RAS members) : 5
For the convenience of the majority of members, the Council would seek the possibility of moving the Library back to Hong Kong Island.
