If this is your first exam season at HKUST, here’s a little heads-up: the next three weeks come with plenty of support and cheer across campus for you. If you’ve been here before, you already know the drill: your schools and many offices will be out in full force with encouragement, activities, food and drinks to help you recharge.
At the Library, we have our own way of supporting you: Snack Breaks, a long-running tradition that is all about taking you away from your study seat and giving you a little treat.
A Bite of History
Snack Breaks started back in 2012, the same year the Learning Commons opened its doors. It was a fresh idea then, and it quickly got warm appreciation among students. Fast forward to today, and we’re in the 14th year of this program!
As the library team gears up for another round of Snack Breaks, I couldn’t help but wonder what those early breaks looked like. To my surprise, they could almost pass for last year’s! Same friendly vibe, same happy faces, same humble but always welcome snacks. Some traditions never age; and that is exactly what makes them special.

The new round is starting this week! Check out the schedule below and join us for a well-deserved pause. See you there!
