Patrons have access to Smartcape printing and photocopy services. During the month of July, the library's circulation figures saw 3 682 items booked out. The library also has new book reservations where patrons can be the first to read new books as well as a Friends committee that manages the many donations received from the public. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Hout%20Bay%20library%207824%203.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:807px;" /> </figure>'We are excited to share in the happiness of celebrating such a big milestone. Libraries play such an important role as spaces where anyone can enjoy reading a book or learning a new hobby. I would like to thank the staff, the community and Friends of the library for ensuring that everyone has access to learning. We are looking forward to the next 35 years of service excellence,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia van der Ross. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Hout%20Bay%20library%207824.jpg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure>End
