UCT’s libraries
Gwenda Thomas, the executive director of UCT
Libraries, and her team of librarians work hard
to ensure that UCT’s libraries remain worldclass repositories of knowledge and up–to-date
research. Here’s how you can get the most out
of this amazing resource.
What’s so great about UCT
libraries? First off, it’s the
biggest library in the southern
hemisphere. This giant repository
of books and journals is stored on
53 km of shelf space.

How do I borrow from one
of the libraries? Your student
card is also your library card. To
borrow something, just take it to
the loans desk together with your
card and the loans desk staff will
issue it to you. The date sheet will
be stamped with the return date.
