It's an archaic word, so it wouldn't have been used to describe something like a modern library, with all its modern features. Is there some reason you want to know?

I looked into it and it seems to be a word derived from a story of some medieval/ancient? chinese scholar that saved a bunch of books from being burnt by authority, and stashed all of it in one place.

@leebo no particular reason, i was just curious. Thanks for the clarification.
@lyza that is interesting story, thanks
