HKUST Library

🎉 Celebrating Dedication at the Long Service Awards!

On June 4, the University held its annual Long Service Awards, and we are overjoyed to congratulate 10 of our own! 👏🎊

A heartfelt congratulations to our 5 colleagues receiving the 35-year award and another 5 for 30 years! 🏅✨

Your enduring dedication and commitment inspire us all. Thank you for making the Library not just a place of learning 📖, but a truly warm, caring, and supportive community.

We are so proud to work alongside you! 🏛️🫶

Beyond Studying: Wellness & Fragrance 🌿

More than just a study space, the Library continues to grow as a vibrant hub for creativity, wellness, and personal enrichment. 🎨✨

We recently teamed up 🤝 with DSTO to host a DIY Perfume Cream Workshop. 🧴

Participants explored the art and language of perfume making, created their own signature scents, and experienced the soothing, stress-relieving power of aromatherapy. 🌸💧

Missed it? Stay tuned for more personal enrichment events at the Library! 📚💛

HKUST Impact Makers

Last year, 16 Library colleagues volunteered their time to give back to the community ❤️.

From buddy reading 📚 to beach clean-ups 🏖️ and sorting clothes for recycling ♻️, our team showed that our care goes way beyond the bookshelves. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made a real impact!

On 4 May, we were honoured with the Outstanding Volunteer Engagement Award 🏆 at the HKUST Impact Makers Appreciation Ceremony 2026 - recognising the highest proportion of staff participation across the University.

This achievement belongs to every colleague who gave their time and care. Let’s keep the momentum going ✨
