Among the authors whose titles are no longer available are Joshua Wong, one of the city's most prominent young activists, and Tanya Chan, a well known pro-democracy lawmaker.
Beijing's new national security law was imposed on Tuesday, June 30, and is the most radical shift in how the semi-autonomous city is run since it was handed back to China by Britain in 1997.
Searches on the public library website showed at least 3 titles by Wong, Chan and local scholar Chin Wan are no longer available for lending at any of dozens of outlets across the city. The national security law targets acts of subversion, secession, terrorism and colluding with foreign forces.
