To use an external library, you first copy it to a directory on your Circuit Py drive called Lib. Then you can import it to your program just like the built-in modules we've used so far. Officially-supported Circuit Python libraries are a good place to start. And the official library bundle of all of the libraries is available on the circuitpython.org website. So let's head to the desktop and download the bundle now. I'm just going to open up a browser and we can navigate to circuitpython.org. And here you can see the Libraries link. And here's the download for the most recent bundle version. It's…
