What is a "private library"?
A private library is a collection of books and other reading materials owned and maintained by an individual or a private organization rather than a public or institutional entity. It can range from a small personal collection to a large, curated collection for private use. Private libraries often reflect the interests and preferences of their owners and may include rare or specialized books, manuscripts, and other resources. They are typically used for personal enjoyment, study, and research.
