The Randburg Library is one of the regional libraries in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. [1] The Library serves the township of Cosmo City and the surrounding suburbs; [2] it is situated within the Randburg Civic Centre. [3] It falls under the City of Johannesburg's Region B libraries. Randburg Library is leading the cities efforts to digitally transform libraries [4] with initiatives such as mLiteracy. In August of 2023, the library was gifted with an inverter to enable patrons to use the library during load shedding. [5]
The library's origins can be traced back to the 1950s during a time of rapid growth and development in Randburg. In response to the community's increasing demand for access to information and resources, a small lending library was established in 1957 within the existing municipal buildings. This modest space, staffed by volunteer librarians was eventually expanded to a larger and more equipped library in 1971. [6]
