How to join the Library

You can become a member free of charge at any library of your choice in the Langeberg-area:

  • To apply for library membership, you will be required to have;
  • for a child a birth certificate, for an adult their ID document/passport,
  • proof of address not older than 3 months
  • and contact details for two references (friends/relatives/co-worker who reside in the Langeberg area, but not at your address).
  • Complete the library membership application form at the library,
  • to process the membership card it takes two to five days when it is ready you will be notified. Should you lose the card to receive a replacement you must pay a fee for a new card.

A member must always have their library membership card each time they visit the library if they want to borrow library materials. Late/lost/damaged library materials must be paid for in full by the member. If you want to keep library materials for longer, call your library and ask for an extension period to avoid paying a fine for late returns.
