Usage notes
- For a public or school library, use biblioteca. A personal collection at home is more often libreria or collezione di libri.
- Libreria usually means bookshop, not library. This is a very common false friend for English speakers.
- To say "go to the library," use andare in biblioteca, often without an article in general statements.
