a room that includes a collection of books for people to access and read

Library (noun) means: a room that includes a collection of books for people to access and read. It emerges from collection, rooms, access, books: the collection of books is in a room that people can visit and read the books. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 22, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
