- to simplify the process of coding. you dont really need to invent the wheel from scratch every single time. if theres a code existing that matches your desires you might as well just use it.

As future aspiring developers, we need to learn how to re-use a code whenever possible, this is possible through libraries. A library is a JS file that contains functions that accomplishes some of the basic tasks needed for developing websites. This will make work and development easier since we do not have to start from scratch. This is most likely true in developing DApss on blockchain where we usually build blocks on top of the Ethereum blockchain.

Why do we need libraries?
To reuse code that has already been written to perform some function(s) or action(s) such as a slideshow. There is no need to waste time re-writing code that has already been written.

- It’s incumbent upon developers to save as much time as possible. One way this is done is by re-using already written code to execute a program via a library.

Libraries are great because they allow programmers to save time by being able to use code that other people have already written. You can then further develop the code from there if you wish, adding your own tweaks etc.

So we can use code that others have created and released to the world for this purpose.

We need libraries because they provide us with reusable codes as we write our programs making life easier rather than having to write every code afresh.

Developers use libraries so that they can re-use useful code that has already been programmed. A library is a JavaScript file that contains a bunch of functions, and those functions accomplish some useful task for your webpage.

Libraries are a useful reference tool to find definitions and examples of functions. We could build libraries to share with others or we could build our own personal library so we do not have to rewrite the same code over and over again.

We can re-utilize pre-existing codes that will save us time. It is a way to put in good use a previous piece of program that has been put out there in the world to be used by everyone.

We use libraries so that we may be more efficient at coding. There is no need to start from scratch when we can stand on the shoulders of those before us and use the shortcuts that have been developed through these code libraries.

1. Why do we need libraries?
When writing code, we often use libraries to help us fill in the gaps when we don’t feel like reinventing the wheel. This implies that you should avoid spending time and effort solving problems that others have already solved. As a developer, the most common way of putting this principle into practice is by using third-party libraries.
It is important however, to do your research and filter through potential library options, weeding out the unsuitable, unsupported, unreliable, and unsafe ones. Each case is unique and it is important to try to gauge the benefits and potential risks for the particular situation that you are handling in your project.

- Why do we need libraries?. Libraries are needed to save time and not reinvent the wheel. If you find a library that has the functions and or code you need, you can use it from that state and customize it to your need. Open source!!!

Libraries are data bases with previous made JS code that the community would find useful. They are important to save time while building a program.
