Randburg Library is leading the cities efforts to digitally transform libraries[5] with initiatives such as mLiteracy.[6] In August 2023, the library was gifted with an inverter to enable patrons to use the library during load shedding.[7] Randburg library is one of 89 libraries in the City of Johannesburg. Libraries are key community centers for learning and knowledge sharing, and educational programs can make a big impact.
