[1][2] The Library serves the township of Cosmo City and the surrounding suburbs;[3] it is situated within the Randburg Civic Centre.

Libraries are key community centers for learning and knowledge sharing, and educational programs can make a big impact.

COJ librarians promote the use of apps such as Overdrive Libby, and African Story Book (ASb reader) to create a culture of reading.

In response to the community's increasing demand for access to information and resources, a small lending library was established in 1957 within the existing municipal buildings.

This modest space, staffed by volunteer librarians, was eventually expanded to a larger and more equipped library in 1971.
