Workbench Disk: Libs Drawer
Libraries are simply collections of routines of a certain type or application.
From a programmers point of view a library is a set of functions which can be used as large jump tables from which functions can be called.
Libraries are used so that programmers can use functions which are not easily available in programming languages, but are made available by the Operating System.
Libraries are divided into various function groups. Most of these are already contained in the ROM, which can only be updated by ROM upgrades, (Kickstart Revisions).
Other libraries must be loaded in from disk as required.
Below is a list of the Libraries available with Workbench 3.0 disk:

amigaguide.library - (Filesize=24880 bytes)
asl.library - (Filesize=40452 bytes)
bullet.library - (Filesize=28960 bytes)
commodities.library - (Filesize=8560 bytes)
datatypes.library - (Filesize=18388 bytes)
diskfont.library - (Filesize=15340 bytes)
iffparse.library - (Filesize=6828 bytes)
locale.library - (Filesize=17548 bytes)
mathieeedoubbas.library - (Filesize=5240 bytes)
mathieeedoubtrans.library - (Filesize=16584 bytes)
mathieeesingtrans - (Filesize=10428 bytes)
mathtrans.library - (Filesize=4280 bytes)
rexxsupport.library - (Filesize=2524 bytes)
rexxsyslib.library - (Filesize=33392 bytes)
version.library - (Filesize=272 bytes)

You my discover that when you install software applications they add additional libraries or may request an updated version.
Aminet archives is a good place to start when looking for libraries and updates.
