Question

In not less than 200 words describe your private library

Answer 1

Explanation:

A private library is a library under the care of private ownership, in contrast to that of a public institution, and is usually only established for the use of a limited number of people, or even a single person. As with public libraries, stamps, stickers, or embossing are used to show ownership of the items. Some people donate or sell their private libraries to established institutions such as the Library of Congress, or, as is often the case, bequeath them thereto after death through a will.

Private libraries often reflect the interests of the owner and the depth of collection in specific area of interests can go far deeper than the level of collection public libraries can attain. For example, Henry Clay Folger developed his personal collection of Shakespeare, which developed into the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. It holds the largest collection of the printed works of William Shakespeare in the world
