1. What are Libraries in Solidity?

Libraries can be seen as implicit base contracts of the contracts that use them (Solidity doc)

A library in Solidity is a different type of smart contract that contains reusable code. Once deployed on the blockchain (only once), it is assigned a specific address and its properties / methods can be reused many times by other contracts in the Ethereum network.
