BELANGRIKE INLIGTING OOR BIBLIOTEEKLIDMAATSKAP

Ons is bewus van onlangse frustrasie oor die hernuwingsproses van biblioteeklidmaatskap. Om seker te maak dat al ons inwoners ons dienste sonder onderbrekings kan geniet, neem asseblief kennis van die volgende riglyne:

Lidmaatskapstatus en hernuwings

• Koste: Biblioteeklidmaatskap is gratis vir alle inwoners van die munisipale gebied.
• Geldigheid: Jou kaart is vir drie jaar geldig.
• Die grasietydperk: Ná drie jaar word lidmaatskap vir een jaar opgeskort. Jy moet jou kaart gedurende hierdie tydperk hernu.
NB: Verwyder: As jy nie in die grasietydperk hernu nie, sal jou lidmaatskap van die stelsel verwyder word, en jy sal weer moet aansoek doen.

Hoe om aan te sluit of jou lidmaatskap by te werk

Aansoekvorms is beskikbaar op die munisipale webwerf.

Om te registreer, verskaf asseblief die volgende:

• Volwassenes: ’n ID-dokument en bewys van verblyf.
• Kinders: ’n Geboortesertifikaat, ’n ouer se ID en bewys van verblyf.
• Huurders: ’n Geldige huurkontrak of ’n beëdigde verklaring van die huiseieaar.

Let wel: Beëdigde verklarings moet die huiseienaar se adres insluit soos dit op hulle jongste munisipale rekening verskyn (nie ouer as drie maande nie).
