Bonjour Rose,

Thank you for pointing this out! You are correct: it should be "bibliothèque". It has now been amended accordingly.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

A library is une bibliothèque.  You’re correct. The word bibliothèque can have a bit broader meaning than just ‘ a library’, but une librairie is a book shop, not a library.
