A library is a place where information, usually in book or computer form, is stored and accessible to others. Usually the books are grouped by genre (fiction, non-fiction, history, etc.) and then sorted alphabetically by the author's last name. Librarians work in libraries to assist those with information needs. Also, many larger starships designed for long-range missions were equipped with libraries.
One of the trials of the Hilbert Hotel (hotel) was centered around putting books back on the shelves of the Klingon High Council library. (RIS Bouteina: "Hilbert Hotel")
Federation starships were equipped standard with a library containing complete copies and discussion of more significant pieces of fiction from multiple species, including novels, scripts, poetry, holoprograms, two-dimensional films, and several games. In 2371 Tuvok traded a copy of the library aboard USS Voyager to Jaret Otel in exchange for the Sikarians' spatial trajector technology. (VOY: "Prime Factors"; The Mysterious Case of Neelix's Lungs: "Factoring Primes")
