Central Book Stack relocates to Pac On, reservation services suspended

The Central Book Stack from the Macao Public Library is being relocated from its current location at the Avenida do Almirante Lacerda to the new Multifunctional Government Building at Pac On.
Due to the relocation, the reservation services for books as well as all the audio-visual materials belonging to this stack will be suspended from next Monday (November 11) until the relocation has been completed, and the retrieval services will also be suspended until further notice, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) said in a statement.
The new space at Pac On is currently undergoing interior design renovations to receive some 400,000 items previously located in central Macau. Among the numerous items are books and audio-visual materials originally stored in the old Central Book Stack that will be re-cataloged and re-shelved in the new location.
IC explained that the decision aims to optimize the space for the storage of such important books and historical documents making them also more accessible to the public.
The retrieval services for books and audio-visual materials shelved in all the branch libraries across the peninsula and the islands will remain available and would not be affected by this relocation.
The Multifunctional Government Building is located on Lot O1 in Pac On, Taipa, across the Immigration Building of the Public Security Police Force. RM
