Attention all local authors! For a chance to get your books onto our shelves, provide your details as explained below, or come and chat to us at the library. We’d love to hear from you.

(And if you know a local author, tag them in the comments so they can see this post 😎)

We hope you all had a fun weekend with the dads in your life … the winner of our Father’s Day raffle certainly did!

This is the magic of libraries: you never know what you might find once you start looking.

Get the kids reading in Afrikaans with these translations of the popular Lottie Brooks series 📚

We’ve got the new Irma Joubert on the shelf! Along with many other new Afrikaans novels, of course.

Got some time off today before tomorrow’s public holiday? We’re open! Pop in and grab some books — just bring your ID and proof of residence if you’d like to join.

We’re big fans of alphabetical by author for fiction and the Dewey Decimal System for the rest, as you can imagine 🤓
