We need them so we do can spend our time building the new things we are building, not rebuilding that which has already been built.

We need libraries so we can leverage each otherā€™s feats.

  1. We need it so bad that otherwise every web site need to be built from absolute ground zero, and it cost so much redundant work and potential bugs. Library of code is truly amazing to let people reuse proven alright codes.

I donā€™t know that we NEED libraries, but they sure save time from having to reinvent the wheel of whatever very common chunks of code someone else has already made freely available! (e.g.graphics/video functionality, audio, some data uses like dates or stock prices, etc)

In order to reuse existing code that another programmer has already written. In Javascript, this is done using a library.

Library are required for using an existing code which already created by other programmers which saves the time required to implement those functionality.

We need JS libraries because of efficiency reasons. Instead of writing brand new code in order to utilize a function, we can just search for the code written by another programmer and shared in the library. Not only will this save time required to implement this functionality but if the code is working as intended, this reduces chances of error that are high likely in a new piece of code.

To reuse and share code. Libraries are usually well documented and lets you see examples of what they do. This makes them a great learning tool as well.

  1. We need them as a tool or reference. If we are aiming to do some task in code, and someone else has already done what we are aiming to do, we can use their already existing code. Also, code from libraries is audited and vetted by other coders and programmers so we can (mostly) assume the code is safe.

Libraries allow a developer to use already developed code to perform a function. This can help developers optimize time and functionality of a project.

  1. To save times, to facilitate the process of programming, to make sure our code runs on all browsers and not just our own.

  1. To avoid reinventing the wheel. Also to enable us to build upon tried and tested code saving us money and time and time to do important things, like breeding kitties or reading that Clean Code book.

  1. A library is a file with a list of functions thatcan be called at the start of your code. This not only helps with integration of web browsers but saves time.

We need libraries because they save us a lot of time when it comes to developing.

Thereā€™s no point in re-writing code when there is a library out there with the code we need. Recycling code is essential in ensuring that the development process is smooth and efficient.
