Olivedale Library offers people with free access to a wealth of information that they cannot find elsewhere, whether online, in print or in person. We work closely with local schools and support educators. The library has many educational programmes for everyone from juvenal to old. Programs that we host are Science Scuffle, Story Skirmish, Battle of the Books and Business workshops. The librarian also visits the schools and pre-school to read stories every Wednesday. We also provides homework assistant, career guidance and information literacy. E-books are accessible by registered members of the library on overdrive.

Hellow. What happens if I do not return my book on time? And how can I renew online?
Tried calling the Olivedale number on the website but it does not go through. Thanks.
Good day, I have a number of university text books (Marketing, Physics, Sciences) that I’d like to donate. Do you take these?
Dear Carol
