Learning
Centre
| The Learning Centre is part of the Shetland Library service, providing access to the People's Network. This is a national initiative, bringing computer access to everyone via a network of public libraries. The Centre is housed in a beautifully restored church hall, next door to the main library building at Lower Hillhead, Lerwick. The calm surroundings are perfect for both study and leisure. |
