The network of libraries are interconnected by a digitalised library management system, the busiest(number of visits) and one of the largest in the world offering both Chinese and English capabilities.

Unlike most public libraries (under local jurisdiction) HKPL is under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, a ministry-like department in the Hong Kong Government, after dismissal of Urban Council and Regional Council before the commence of 2000.
