Library Building

The library building icon represents a physical or institutional library, often symbolizing a center for education, knowledge, and resources. The visual design of the library building icon typically includes architectural elements like a building or structure, signifying a dedicated space for learning and information. This icon originates from the concept of a physical library building.

In real-world applications, the library building icon appears in educational software, e-learning platforms, and digital libraries. Examples include online course platforms, educational resources, and digital bookstores.

From a UX perspective, the library building icon communicates a sense of a dedicated space for learning and knowledge acquisition, helping users identify features related to educational institutions or resources.

Library Building is one of 562 icons in CoreUI Free, made by creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LibraryBuildingIcon to components/icons/cil-library-building.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed LibraryBuildingIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Library Building icon, or any of 562 CoreUI Free icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Library Building", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LibraryBuildingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LibraryBuildingIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are education, architecture, building, library and institution. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Library Building in another set.
