Good day. I would like to know if you offer computer lessons and if so do you also offer on weekends as well and how much if one wants to do it?
Dear Emily
Apologies for the delayed response.
Our Public Libraries do not charge anything for programmes offered by Libraries. The library used to have laptops and a classroom but the laptops were outdated so we are trying to upgrade or find them replacement. So currently there are no organized computer lessons at the library but I will speak to the Librarian to find out if they can organize them and I will keep your details and cotnact your again once the librarian has updated us.

Greetings,
I wanted to know when will the Library plugs work, because it’s hard for me to study as I am using a laptop and I have a concern with the WiFi also , why should the WiFi always be off when its 15:00-16:00 .
Dear Palesa
The free Wi-Fi is always available when the library is open, unless the network is down. We will follow up with the Emndeni Library regarding the plug points and we will update you on email
