Library

noun (plural -braries) Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French librarie, Medieval Latin librarium, from Latin, neuter of librarius of books, from libr-, liber inner bark, rind, book 1. a. a place in which literary, musical, artistic, or reference materials (as books, manuscripts, recordings, or films) are kept for use but not for sale b. a collection of such materials 2. a. a collection resembling or suggesting a library Example: a library of computer programs Example: wine library b. morgue 2 3. a. a series of related books issued by a publisher b. a collection of publications on the same subject 4. a collection of cloned DNA fragments that are maintained in a suitable cellular environment and that usually represent the genetic material of a particular organism or tissue Usage: While the pronunciation [ˈlī-ˌbrer-ē] is the most frequent variant in the U.S., the other variants are not uncommon. The contraction [ˈlī-brē] and the dissimilated form [ˈlī-ˌber-ē] result from the relative difficulty of repeating [r] in the same syllable or successive syllables; our files contain citations for these variants from educated speakers, including college presidents and professors, as well as with somewhat greater frequency from less educated speakers.

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

Library

A collection of subroutines and functions stored in one or more files, usually in compiled form, for linking with other programs. Libraries are one of the earliest forms of organised code reuse. They are often supplied by the operating system or software development environment developer to be used in many different programs. The routines in a library may be general purpose or designed for some specific function such as three dimensional animated graphics. Libraries are linked with the user's program to form a complete executable. The linking may be static linking or, in some systems, dynamic linking.
