Kloof Street Public Library is a public library located in Cape Town, South Africa. The library was opened on 6 February 1956.[1] It is one of the 102 library and information points, in the city.[2]

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

[edit | edit source]

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]
