# Prepare library

After setting up your account, the next step is to prepare your content libraries. In GUIBO, libraries are reusable content collections that serve as the foundation for all your guidebooks.

## **Why Libraries matter**

Libraries are the foundation for scaling your content and operations.

**Maintain once, update everywhere** \
Create content once in a library and reuse it across multiple guidebooks. Any update you make is automatically reflected in all connected guidebooks. No manual rework needed.

**Personalize bookings with library content**\
Libraries provide standardized building blocks such as accommodations, additional stages, POIs, and descriptions that can be reused and adapted for each individual booking. This allows you to deliver personalized travel experiences without duplicating or rebuilding content.

### Geo Libraries

These contain location-based assets like routes and points of interest:

* **Routes Libraries**: Store GPX tracks and paths that travelers will follow
* **POIs Libraries**: Store points of interest like attractions, accommodations, and services

### Text Libraries

These contain text-based content:

* **Text Libraries**: Store general information pages, descriptions, images and other text content

## Step 1: Create route library

1. Click the **+** button in the **Geodata** section
2. Enter a name for your library (e.g., "Routes", "Hiking Routes", "Cycling routes", "Austria routes")
3. Click **Create**
4. Add a route to your created library
   1. Open your new library
   2. Click the orange **+ button** (upper left corner)
      * **Upload GPX** to import an existing GPX file, or
      * **Create Route Manually** to draw a route on the map
   3. Add a basic description to your route

## **Step 2: Create POI library**

1. Click the **+** button in the **Geodata** section
2. Enter a name for your library (e.g., "POIs", "Accommodation", "Sightseeing")
3. Click **Create**
4. Add a POI to your created library
   1. Open your new library
   2. Click the orange **+ button** (upper left corner)
      * **POI: Search & Import** to add google places, or
      * **POI: Drop manually** to drop a new POI anywhere you want, or
      * **POI: AI Extractors** to extract POIs from continuous text
   3. Add a basic description to your POI

## Step 3: Create text library

1. Click the **+** button in the **Text Pages** section 
2. Enter a name for your library (e.g. "General Information", "Text Pages Spain")
3. Click **Create**
4. Add a Text Page to Your Text Library
   1. In your Text library, go to **Text Pages**
   2. Click **Add Text Page**
   3. Create a simple "Welcome" or "Arrival Information" page
   4. Add basic text content using the editor

## Next Steps

Your libraries now contain some content for your first guidebook. In the next step, [Create your first guidebook](/get-started/getting-started/create-your-first-guidebook.md), you'll assemble this content into a complete travel product.

***

**Tip**: When creating a new library, think about its purpose and what type of content it will contain. The clear separation between geographic and text libraries helps maintain organization as your content grows.
