Stromness Library

Stromness Library is situated at the bottom of Hellihole Road, in the building it has occupied since 1905 when it was gifted to the library service by Marjory Skea (or Corrigall).

We have a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles available for loan as well as books on tape, music CDs and a bright, well stocked childrens section. We also have a reference collection, housed upstairs in our cosy reference room, and a fascinating collection of old editions of the Orcadian newspaper which are available for study upon request. In the main library you will find an up to date selection of local and national newspapers and magazines covering a wide range of subjects and interests.

If the book you want is not available we offer an inter library loan service through which you can borrow books from libraries throughout the country. More information...

Free internet access is available on a pc and by WiFi connection.
