# The Johannesburg City Library has reopened after five-years of closure due to leaks and fire risks. This follows upgrades to its systems, refreshed shelves, and revitalised children’s storytelling spaces. Long-time users can now renew their library cards, while new members can register online. According to News24, Heritage Foundation chairperson David Fleminger called the reopening a positive achievement for literacy and education. The restoration, a joint effort by the city and civil society, highlights the library’s role in inclusive learning and growth.
