Going to the library to read books is a good place to relax on the weekend. Do you know which one has the most visitors and borrowing times?
At present, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department has 70 fixed libraries and 12 mobile libraries. According to a document from the Special Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, the total number of visitors in 2020 is 7.39 million, which is a significant decrease of nearly 80% from 2019.
In 2020, nearly 850,000 people visited the public libraries in Wan Chai District. Among them, the Central Library accounted for nearly 700,000 people, making it the most visited library in Hong Kong.
Calculated according to the population ratio of the 18 districts, the public libraries in Wan Chai District have the largest number of visits per capita for three consecutive years. In 2020, the average number of visits per capita is about 5. However, due to the large and complete collection of books in the Central Library, the number of visits may come from All districts in Hong Kong.
In terms of the number of borrowings, the total number of borrowings from fixed and mobile libraries and self-service library stations in 2020 is less than that of previous years, only 12.66 million.
The number of borrowings per capita in public libraries in Wan Chai District is also the highest for 3 consecutive years. There will be as many as 5 times in 2020, 2 times more than that in Central and Western District.
Calculated based on the number of borrowing times of each library, the Sha Tin Public Library has the most borrowing times in Hong Kong in 2020, reaching 690,000 times.
