Steam Library
The Steam Library, or simply Library, is the software management interface provided to users when they install the Steam software. The Library stores the user’s software and games obtained through Family Sharing. The Library also allows for the separation of software into categories, as well as the default separation of software into four categories: games, software, virtual reality, and music, as well as the provision of different tools based on the software owned by the user.
