58<h1>Using CodeIgniter Libraries</h1>
59
60
61<p>All of the available libraries are located in your <dfn>system/libraries</dfn> folder.
62In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing it within a <a href="controllers.html">controller</a> using the following initialization function:</p>
63
64<code>$this->load->library('<var>class name</var>'); </code>
65
66<p>Where <var>class name</var> is the name of the class you want to invoke. For example, to load the validation class you would do this:</p>
67
68<code>$this->load->library('<var>validation</var>'); </code>
69
70<p>Once initialized you can use it as indicated in the user guide page corresponding to that class.</p>
