Li Ping Medical Library was established in 1980 under the generous donation of Mr. Robert Ki-cheong Li, Mr. Allan Ho-cheong Li and their brothers. The Library was subsequently named after their father, the late Mr. Li Ping, J.P., in memory of their trendmenous support.

Located at Clinical Sciences Building of the Prince of Wales Hospital, the teaching hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, the Library is committed to support the teaching, learning and research needs of the Faculty by providing round-the-clock access to a rich collection of biomedical resources through state-of-the-art technology under the umbrella of the University Library System. The Library uniquely collects clinical and medical sciences materials so as to meet the curriculum needs of the clinical programs in the teaching hospital. The pre-clinical, nursing and pharmacy collections are integrated with other subjects in the University Library to support the teaching programs of the Faculty in the campus.

The Library underwent a large-scale renovation in mid-2002 to extend into the new space granted. The newly renovated library was open for public use on February 28, 2003 with more space, more diverse services and more modern facilities. The following map shows the Library's location:

Under the joint support of University Library System and the Faculty, the Hong Kong International MEDLARS Centre was established in mid-1996 at the library. It further advances the mission of the library by serving as a regional biomedical information resource centre to provide document delivery services to the CUHK community in general and the healthcare professionals around the world in particular.
