Register for SmartCape
Join our SmartCape community and gain access to the SmartCape internet service in our City libraries. In order for you to become a SmartCape user, you must first become a member of a City of Cape Town public library.
How to register
Step 1:
Sign up for library membership at the front desk. Remember to bring along your ID and proof of residence. You will then be issued with a library card.
Step 2: Take your bar-coded library card to the librarian on duty. The librarian will activate the card so that you will be able to register on SmartCape.
Step 3: Go to a SmartCape computer then follow these steps:
- Click on the "Register" icon.
- You will see a screen asking you to enter some details into the system.
- Type in your personal details, your username and password. You will need to verify your password by typing it twice.
- On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see two tabs. One is "Next/Continue" and the other one is "Cancel".
- You only click "Cancel" if you do not want to continue with the registration process.
- To move to the next screen, click "Next/Continue". Keep doing this until you get to click on "Finish".
Step 4: If you have registered successfully, you will receive a welcome note in your mailbox. Now you can log in and use SmartCape anytime and at any library.
PLEASE NOTE
Do not forget your password as you will need to re-enter it every time you log into SmartCape. If you need assistance, ask the librarian on duty to help.
