I would like to email my id and proof of address to you for my new membership at Linden Library. Can you please share your email adress with me.
Good day Yolanda
Thank you for your interest in joining our library services.
Here are your options
1. Join online http://www.cojelearning.org.za under membership, you get an email with your number after 7 days. You can start taking EBOOKS on the website under Overdrive.
2. ONCE you have that number, if you need physical books, the first time going to the library you can bring the ID and proof of address for record keeping and you can take books immediately because you are already registered online.
3. Otherwise if you are not registered online, you need to physically bring those items to the library and then wait for for 14 days for the membership to be processed
