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.
