Does stuff ever come back? Is it a library in the lending sense?
Occasionally it does, but more commonly it's a renewable resource. More stuff arrives to replace the things that people have found a use for.
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 -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
