In a career or skills context, "libraries" typically refers to knowledge of software libraries—reusable, pre-written code packages that provide specific functionality (such as data processing, UI components, or networking) so developers don't have to write code from scratch. Familiarity with relevant libraries and frameworks in a given programming language is a core competency for software engineers. The term can also refer to physical or digital library science, involving the organization, cataloging, and management of information resources by librarians and information professionals.
