With 1/F fully reopened, spaces in this area are realigned with new rooms to better cater for users’ study needs. The new Activity Room, with its innovative design with adjustable audio-visual projections and soundproof glass walls, becomes a popular multi-purpose venue for lectures, video-shooting, interviews, and talks. In December 2021, the book talk ‘Hong Kong Gothic: "Tattoo Me" 《紋身不由己》’ was held in the Activity Room and was well received by staff and students.

In December 2021, the Library kicked off its first overnight service for Lingnan staff and students. The Late Reading Room, provides users with study tables, seats, and High Use Books for consultation and checkout, serves as a quiet and spacious study zone, especially during examination periods.

Users are encouraged to make recommendations on this form to further enrich the collection.
