How to Register
In order for you to become a SmartCape User, you must first become a member of a City Of Cape Town public library.
1. To join a library, you need to follow these simple steps:
- Go to a City Of Cape Town public library. Follow this link for a list of these libraries and pick the one most convenient for you.
- Take your identity document and a proof of address (like a municipal or telephone account) to the librarian. NB. If you are under 18 years of age, take your birth certificate to the library in place of an identity document.
- The librarian will then process a bar-coded library card for you.
2. To become a SmartCape User you need to:
- Take your bar-coded Library card to the librarian on duty.
- The librarian will activate the card so that you will be able to register on SmartCape.
- Go to a SmartCape computer and click on the "Register" Icon
- Once you click on "Register", you will see a screen asking you to enter some details into the system.
- Type in your personal details, your User name and your Password.
- You will need to verify your Password by typing it twice.
- Do not forget your password as you will need to re-enter it every time you log-in to SmartCape.
- At your right hand side you will see two tabs, one is "Next/continue" and the other one is “Cancel”.
- You only click "Cancel" if you do not want to continue with the registration process.
- To move to the next screen, click "Next/continue". Keep doing this until you get to click on “Finish”.
- You have now completed the Smartcape registration process. If you have registered successfully, you will receive a welcome note in your mail-box.
- Now you can log-in and use your SmartCape anytime and at any Library.
