The library was extended in 1967 when the adjoining shop became the children's library.[1] The library offers internet access, computers and copying machine resources.[2]
Collections
Until 2023 (when the Western Cape was not affected by budget cuts)[3] the library offered periodicals, newspapers, and audiovisual materials. However, in 2024 due to rationalizations, patrons no longer have access to paper-based newspapers and magazines.[4]
Digital resources include e-books, audiobooks, online databases, and access to Overdrive, both in the library and remotely.[5]
