Reference excerpt

Rondebosch Library is a public library in Rondebosch, Cape Town, South Africa. It was ranked 18th in the City of Cape Town's top circulating libraries in 2013. The library's holdings can be searched online via the City of Cape Town's Open Public Access Catalogue (OPAC).

Rondebosch Town Hall The library is housed in the former Rondebosch Town Hall. The main library is situated in the hall itself, which is no longer used for public meetings, as well as on the stage and in two side rooms, while the children's section is housed upstairs and on the balcony. The building was designed by George Murray Alexander and completed in 1899. In addition to a large public hall with a roof over 10m high, a stage and balcony, the building was designed to hold municipal offices, a public library and refreshment rooms. The building is made of rough stone, which has been painted a dull beige, and has high teak doorways and a teak staircase. A stained glass window above the doors onto the portico balcony depicts the Rondebosch municipal crest, and a view of Devil's Peak and the Rondebosch area. The original portico over the front doors became unsafe and was demolished, and rebuilt after 1969.

Renovations

In July 2018, Rondebosch Library was closed to the public due to required renovations of the roof and library infrastructure. The Library re-opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, 28 July 2021.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rondebosch Library

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rondebosch Library claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rondebosch Library before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rondebosch Library ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rondebosch Library

In research: Rondebosch Library appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rondebosch Library in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rondebosch Library is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Libraries in Cape Town, Library and information science stubs, Public libraries in the Western Cape, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rondebosch Library outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
