  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.
