Can I borrow books for free? and if I don’t have an ID can I still borrow books?
Dear Kevin
Thank you for your interest in using our library services.
If you need to use our books inside the library only, you don’t need any documentation, you just come to one of our branches and use books within the library.
if you need to take out printed books from the library, you need to have an official ID document or a Passport, or any home affairs’ issued document that shows your status in the country, and bring those to the library to register as a member.
If you need to take out E-books online, you also need the above documents with your Identity numbers/passport/refugee/work permit numbers and then you apply online. To apply online> You visit our website http://www.cojelearning.org.za home page and click “membership:” You fill in a Google form.

Hello, I’m information science student, and I looking for a library where I can volunteer can I come to your library?
Hi Mbavhalelo
Congratulations on your studies. We do not accept volunteers in our library branches due to City regulations. However, for Library and Information Science students, when you have done a certain level of studies, we work with your institution to provide you with “work-place-learning” opportunities for a specific period prescribed by your institution, so that you can gain experience. This is coordinated through your departmental lecturers and they can advise when you are ready to receive in-service training. Please speak to your university department.
Good luck
