Multimedia library
A multimedia library is a public institution functioning as a library, containing not only paper and electronic books, newspapers and magazines, but also multimedia materials like videos (movies, documentaries) and sound recordings (music, audio books).[1]
A multimedia library is distinct from a hybrid library, which – sensu stricto – contains only books and e-books. Multimedia, by definition, includes also pre-digital non-book materials.
