    It comes from the Latin libre, meaning free.

      This is incorrect.

      From Wikipedia:

      The term library is based on the Latin word liber for ‘book’ or ‘document’, contained in Latin libraria ‘collection of books’ and librarium ‘container for books’.

        I’m pretty sure it’s from the Latin word for book, liber, and has nothing to do with “free”
