# Library

The Library window is your center for managing re-usable content in Toon Boom Studio. From the Library window, you can access:

- All vector and image elements, drawings and images in your animation.

From the list of vector elements, you can copy any drawing from one place in your animation set to another.

- All global and local templates.

Templates are files that you can use to store individual pieces of animation content, such as drawings, images, or sounds, or collections of animation content (many drawings, images or sounds) or elements.

- If you store your templates in the Local catalog, the templates will be available for reuse in the current animation only.
- If you store your templates in the Global catalog, the templates will be available for reuse in other animations you create on your system.

To open the Library window:

- Select Window > Library.
