Use your Library card to borrow books, CDs, DVDs etc as well as to use the online catalogue to check what you have on loan, renew and reserve items. To do this, you will need your borrower number and you will also need your PIN number, which you can get from Library staff, or by completing the PIN request form online. (If you use your Young Scot Card, as a library card, your borrower number is the number on the card plus the three digits in the bottom right hand corner of the card.) Your borrower number can also be used to get access to a range of online books and multimedia, which are listed in our Reference Links section.
Shetland Library, in partnership with NHS Shetland, provides three stages of Bookstart packs for the under fours. Packs one and two are sent out to Health Visitors, to be distributed at the 8 week and 13 month checks. Any parent who doesn't receive either pack one or two can pick one up from the library. Pack 3, the Treasure Chest, is available from the library for every 3 year old.
