The Society library collection was started in 2011 and with regular purchases and donations has become possibly the most extensive resource about Shetland and by Shetlander authors in New Zealand. Members can enjoy the latest material coming out of Shetland, fiction and non-fiction, in the form of books, magazines, DVDs and CDs. Donations of older material provide titles often no longer still in print. These, and a full set of publications of the Shetland Family History Society, are useful for members researching their family history. There is also a small collection for children and young adults.
The library is available for browsing and borrowing at Society functions where that is practical, and borrowing by post is available to members all the time.
