Definition

Etymology

From bibliotheca + -s (English plural). This forms the English plural of the Latin/Greek term, often used when referring to multiple named institutions.

Kelly Says

When multiple libraries call themselves 'Bibliothecas' in their official names across Europe and Latin America, they're claiming a direct connection to centuries of intellectual tradition.
