In the library, there are a large number of guides of different museums, galleries, catalogues of exhibitions, city maps and guides of the towns on the Adriatic Sea and in Istria and their tourist publications as well as important cartographic documents of Senj, Croatian Coastland (Primorje) and Velebit. The analyses of this collection according to the scientific disciplines showed that the majority of the books are of archaeology, history, ethnography and it contains basic experts-scientific literature of the mentioned subjects. One part is related to the cultural history of Senj and its surroundings.
The library represents a good overview of printing in Croatia in the 19th and 20 centuries. From this period it can be seen the importance of printers/editors and bookshops for cultural heritage of Croatia in the cities Zagreb, Karlovac, Senj and Pula and the importance of Senj and its printers is especially noticed during this period.

Highlights of this collection are the regional newspapers of the town of Senj and its surroundings. These kinds of magazines and newspapers contain 13 titles and Professor A. Galvičić was the one who initiated the publication of some of them.
