After Typhoon Mangkhut

Others
(Issue 113/September 2018)

Typhoon Mangkhut caused great impact on Hong Kong. Fortunately, the Library survived the typhoon with minor water leakage or infiltration which we have tackled already. Our heartfelt thanks to all those colleagues for the precautionary works and those who had pitched in cleaning up the toppled trees and scattered garbage on campus. Million thanks!
