West End Library |
| The West End Library opened its doors to the public on 5 May 1973. It was initially a depot service operated from the Korsten Library. Membership and interest grew to such an extent that it soon adopted the normal operating hours of the other libraries. Due to the ever-increasing demand placed on the services rendered, extensions to the building were made in 1986 and 1989. Over the years, services to far-flung areas and the less fortunate were added. The services are Bethelsdorp Old Age Homes in 1989, a service in Kleinskool in 1990, the House of the Resurrection Aids Haven in 1994, Cheshire Homes in 1996, and the Missionvale Care Centre in 1997. Due to lack of staff, the services to the Aids Haven and Cheshire Homes have been discontinued, while the service to Missionvale is now rendered by the Korsten Library. |

Booysens Park Library |
| The Booysen Park Library was completed in December 1983, and the official opening took place on 9 February 1984. The residential area developed somewhat slower than expected, and the staff consequently initiated outreach programmes. At present, they run services to housebound borrowers, a senior citizen club at a local church, and the Algoa Frail Aged Care Centre. |
