There aren't any shader libraries for QML out there right now, but I expect there to show up some in the time to come. 

If you are interested in how they work, then looking at the examples we have published so far and reading up on GLSL is a good place to start. There should also be some qdoc in the source files too (such as src/declarative/items/qsgshadereffectitem.cpp) that you could read through while we're waiting for the Qt 5 doc pages to come online.
