Good morning everyone,
the library will be re-opening on schedule tomorrow, 1 July 2009. It has been a very hectic month, but I think the results are worth it. The library is now clean and pretty again!
We will be updating the new books section soon, so watch this space.

The Building
The library is situated in the old Rondebosch Town Hall, a building completed in 1898. Upstairs, one can still admire the original stained glass windows, depicting the coat of arms of the Rondebosch Municipality.
We are situated next to the Belmont Road bridge, outside the Rondebosch train station.

What to expect:
At the Rondebosch Library, as at all the City of Cape Town Libraries, you may borrow 7 books at a time, for two weeks. You may also borrow 2 CDs for two weeks, and one video or DVD for 2 days. We also have some short loan items, like study guides, which may be borrowed for one week at a time.
You may renew your two-week items twice, telephonically if you like. Our phone number is 021 689 1100, and we just need the number printed underneath the barcode of your library card.
When we get new books, the bestsellers are often (usually) reserved immediately. To book your place in the queue, we charge R3.00. We would then notify you as soon as the book is ready for you.
