The National Library of South Africa Cape Town occupies several buildings that are strewn around the center of Cape Town. The four buildings that I've seen are within a walking distance of each other. National libraries act as repositories for the work of local writers and other creative artists. In Cape Town, the main location is open to the public and easily accessible.

An educational experience for both young and old. One of the first in South Africa. It showcases many masterpieces and is a must see for all. The mother city has a beautiful history.

Excellent place if you have work or studies that need to get done without the distractions of a coffee shop. The area is neat, well lit and accessible to the public. It is rarely full and crowds of students come only around exam time. The downside of using the library is that the toilets aren't very clean and no food or water is allowed past security.
