It is situated inside the Randburg Civic Centre, which houses the Randburg Clinic and Randburg Licensing Department. The Library serves the township of Cosmo City and the surrounding suburbs; it is situated within the Randburg Civic Centre. It falls under the City of Johannesburg's Region B libraries. Randburg Library is leading the cities efforts to digitally transform libraries with initiatives such as mLiteracy. In August 2023, the library was gifted with an inverter to enable patrons to use the library during load shedding. Randburg library is one of 89 libraries in the City of Johannesburg. 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. The library had a digital literacy class for homeless people called "Project: Master Class" which taught digital skills and online courses to homeless people.
The library was opened in 1962, during a time of rapid growth and development in Randburg. 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.
