The library of the Croatian Conservation Institute was founded in 2003, as a special library of a semi-open type. Its collection is intended primarily for restorers, conservators and museum staff, as well as lecturers and students dealing with the protection and preservation of cultural heritage. One section of the library collection consists of books inherited from the two institutions which were merged as the Croatian Conservation Institute in 1997: the Institute for Restoration of Works of Art and the Conservation Institute of Croatia.

Nowadays the library collection encompasses some 10 000 professional monographs and 137 periodicals (41 Croatian periodicals, 32 regularly purchased foreign periodicals and 64 periodicals that are no longer purchased).

The central library is located at 8 Zmajevac Street in Zagreb, with branches at 19 locations in Zagreb, Ludbreg, Osijek, Juršići, Rijeka, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik.
