Just FYI, it looks like you've been tricked by a false cognate there: in English, "library" means a place you borrow books (bibliotheque), "bookstore" means place you buy books (librairie)

Oops, you're right. Thanks for pointing it out.

Strangely, I don't to the mistake when going from English to french. Because I'm more used translating "software library" to "bibliothèque logicielle" than talking about book stores in English.

Guess I'll need to pay more attention to it.
