To ensure that our library resources are up to date, and relevant for use by our residents, the City’s libraries will be doing stock taking in eight of our libraries.

The Department of Library and Information Services conducts Stocktaking in Libraries on a schedule over a period of three years.  It is an essential library book stock management tool. 

Individual libraries will be closed to the public for the duration of the stock take. This is in compliance with treasury regulations GRAP 17, which ensures that library assets are kept modern and up to date. 

Notices will be placed in the libraries, as well as posted on the Library and Information Services Directorate’s Facebook Page in order to inform communities of the planned closures. 

Libraries that will be closed for stocktaking include:

Linbro Park Library: 26 February – 03 March 2018
Rosebank Library: 26 February – 03 March 2018
Alexander 3rd Avenue Library: 05 – 10 March 2018
Johannesburg City Library – Art Section: 05 – 10 March 2018
Florida Library: 12 – 17 March 2018
Pimville Library: 12 -17 March 2018
Phiri Library: 19 – 24 March 2018
Riverlea Library: 19 – 24 March 2018

We ask for residents’ patience during this time.
