Library

The OCS Library, now comprising the Society's collection of over 400 books, catalogues, journals and papers on oriental art and culture, is available to members at the Art Section on the tenth floor of the Central Library in Causeway Bay.

The OCS Library is a growing collection and we will be very happy to accept additions. If you have any books on any topic falling within the classification of oriental art and culture that you would like to donate, please send us a note of the titles by e-mail to ocs@orientalceramics.org.hk. We will check whether the book is already included in our collection or the Central Library's own collection, and advise you accordingly.

Material from the OCS Library will be available for lending to OCS Members on presentation of their OCS Membership card and library card, and to other Central Library members for browsing only.
