The most important thing about a library is that it is a collection.  What 
exactly is done with the collection varies.

It is nice if people who take things from the library try to find things to 
donate, but it's not required.

  library
      n 1: a room where books are kept; "they had brandy in the
           library"
      2: a collection of literary documents or records kept for
         reference or borrowing
      3: a depository built to contain books and other materials for
         reading and study [syn: {library}, {depository library}]
      4: (computing) a collection of standard programs and subroutines
         that are stored and available for immediate use [syn:
         {library}, {program library}, {subroutine library}]
      5: a building that houses a collection of books and other
         materials
