There is no age limit to discovering the joy of reading. Whether you are studying, wanting to learn something new or reading for pleasure lives are enhanced through books.

While libraries are offering reduced services due to social distancing regulations remember we have titles in a variety of formats including eBook and/or eAudiobook for download to your own device.

This December 2017, Bitou Municipality will take its Library Services to the beach for some “Fun in the Sun”. The Library will be visiting Central Beach on 11 – 15 and 18 – 22 December where they will provide a variety of fun activities for individuals and the entire family.

Kranshoek was a hive of activity on 17 May as storytellers from the area came together to share their stories at the Oral History Festival.

The festival, organised by Bitou's library services team, was launched by Western Cape MEC for Cultural Affairs and Sports (DCAS) Anroux Marais. 

The aim of the festival is to honour stories from the communities told by people from the communities.

Save some money and bring back your outstanding library books during National Library Week, March 20-25, 2023.
