Shalidor's Library is a collection of 297 books that becomes available once the Mages Guild has been joined. Reading one of these books grants reputation points towards your rank in the guild, while reading all books in a collection gives you a large boost in your guild reputation. Some of these books are tied to a specific zone, while others can be found all around Tamriel, usually in 3 to 5 locations, and even in the DLC zones. Every time a book is read, it is added to the library and can be read at any time by accessing the game menu.
Once a collection has been completed, reprints of these books can be bought from Mystics. These serve as furnishing items and can be placed in your home and read at any time. It should be noted that reading guild reprint books do not increase your Mages Guild level in the same way reading books found out in the world do.
Many books are anachronistic and were not actually written until the future. This is explained with places like Gandranen Ruins, which pulls books from across time.
Upon completing the Mages Guild quest line, another collection called the Eidetic Memory is unlocked. This library lists all the remaining books, letters, and notes not included in Shalidor's Library.
