Start your own library network! Hong Kong Libraries Connect (HKLC) is an independent network established in June 2016, with a goal to connect Hong Kong library professionals across sectors and build a community that contributes to local and international discourse about librarianship. Our presentation will be about our DIY ethos, from creating a website and organising events to coordinating a library mentoring program. We will also share our progress of how our group has developed over the last 12 months, and where we hope to be in the next 12 months. %I figshare
