The wifi doesn’t work anymore and it was essential for study purposes
Dear Charmane
We apologize for the inconvenience. The Wi-Fi at Yeoville Library works, but occasionally it can be down due to weather conditions or loadshedding that affects connectivity, but according to library staff, it was off for a day and came back on. Please enquire with the library and they will update you as well.
Happy studying.

Hi, does the library open on Saturdays?
Dear Mbali
Currently our libraries do not open on Saturdays due to a labor matter that is being addressed. We will announce once libraries start opening on Saturdays again.

Good day, does the library offer any internship programs.
Dear Samantha
We currently have interns in libraries that were recruited last year and their contracts will end in July 2024, and some in September 2024. Our internship program is usually 18 months and depends on availability of funds that particular year, so we do not always have internship in libraries. Our Internships are advertised on the City’s http://www.joburg.org.za website, under “work in Joburg” on the menu, and search for “job opportunities. You have to regularly check at least once a week, you can find adverts for permanent or contract jobs, internships and learnerships even from other departments. You can also check for government jobs on the http://www.dpsa.gov.za website and download their Circular that comes our every Thursday for jobs and internships. ( https://www.dpsa.gov.za/newsroom/psvc/ )
Good luck.

They currently have no working Wi-Fi once again, it’s been a week. Let’s not get started with the staff; absolutely rude. One of them frantically yelled at kids for browsing through the book shelves(they hate reorganizing the books, which is their job)
Dear Olwethu
Your concerns are duly noted.
Warmest regards

Wifi never works, outdated books, rude employees.
Dear Maria
Please kindly email us to enquiries@cojelearning.org.za with more details on the experience you had at the library and the kind of books you would like us to buy. As library users you are allowed to suggest titles or subjects to add to our book collections. The book buying processes only resumed recently after a few years of not buying new books due to National Treasury Regulations. So you will start to see new collections soon. The matter of WIFI connectivity has been escalated. Unfortunately it is not within Libraries control as it is the city’s WIFI distributed in different spaces including libraries.

Elearning office
Students can’t rely on doing research because their wifi is never working. It’s starting to feel like well managed libraries are luxury.

Hello, Bonjour. Is the library currently open? I have a donation of books in French if the library is interested? Would love to chat about opportunities to support the Francophone communities in the area. Any number/email I can join someone in particular please? Thank you.
