A while back I did a post on free things to do in Cape Town with kids and included visiting a library during story time as one of the free options. Anyway I thought it might be useful as a separate post should anyone just want this info. Here is the list of Library Story Times in Cape Town.

Other libraries which host story times are Belville, Camps Bay, Milnerton, Mowbray, Muizenberg, Pinelands, Somerset West and Vredehoek. Check directly with the library for story times, see this list of your local libraries for contact details. Please feel free to leave a comment should you know of another Library that offers story time or if these details change!
Some book stores also offer this service such as The Book Lounge in Roeland Street, City Centre or Readers Warehouse in Tokai. Keep an eye out in the local press for details.
I used to run the story hour at Fish Hoek during school holidays 🙂 Good times.
Would like to know more about the free programmes held at the library during the holidays
