CAPE TOWN - Bookworms will be able to find and read their favourite books with ease as Cape Town's libraries go digital.

Library cards, physical catalogues, along e-books will all be available digitally.   

Readers can now apply online for a library card and collect it at their local library.   

This move gives readers access to thousands of titles ranging from contemporary bestsellers to timeless classics.   

MMC for Health, councillor Francine Higham said the platform showcases the library's latest additions.   

"These innovations make our library resources more accessible than ever, opening up a whole new world of reading to discover. Our new digital services mean patrons can search our extended catalogues for their next read or favourite authors. Students, researchers and other readers alike will benefit from these regularly updated digital resources."
