video library

Stored recording catalog

A video library is a collection of videos organized for access and viewing.

Originally this meant physical spaces housing VHS tapes or DVDs for rental or lending.

Now it more often refers to digital collections—a streaming service's catalog, a company's archive of training videos, or your personal collection: I've built up quite a video library on my hard drive.
