After 12 years' service at CUHK, and over 40 years in academic libraries in UK and in Hong Kong, I will be retiring back to a quiet village in Suffolk UK at the end of November 2012.  My family and I came out to Hong Kong in 1988 for two years, and we stayed for 24.  Though my wife and I have sometimes wondered what we were doing living 6,000 miles away from where we were born, no-one in Hong Kong has ever said to us, "what are you doing here?"  This testifies not only to Hong Kong's exciting vibrancy, but also to the willingness of Hong Kong people to embrace internationalism and to welcome any person from anywhere who is willing to work and help Hong Kong, in any way however small, to secure a strong future.

Jointly presented by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chung Chi College and University Library System at the Chung Chi College Elizabeth Luce Moore Library on October 11, 2012.

Mr. Karl Kwok, Chairman of Chung Chi College Board of Trustees, CUHK, Professor Hau Kit Tai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor/Vice-President, CUHK, Professor Leung Yuen Sang, Head of Chung Chi College, Professor Leung Wing Nang Albert, Director of School of Chinese Medicine and Dr. Colin Storey, University Librarian, officiated at the Ceremony. 

The Learning Garden is situated on the lower ground floor (LG/F) of the University Library.  This 2,000 sq. m. Learning Garden is an inspiring and welcoming place for learning and academic activities, where library and technical experts are available to support student project work.
