Happy Birthday to HSMC Library

Do you know that the Library is celebrating its First Birthday today?

The Library moved to its current location in Block A on 12 Sept 2012. The small team of library staff had to help to move over 30,000 volumes of books and multimedia items to its new home. Five days later on 17 Sept 2012, the Library opened its doors to the College for the first time.

Looking back on our wonderful year, here are photos of some memorable times:

Special thanks to everyone who participated in building the new Library.
