## Creating a Processing Library

If you have a feature idea that Processing doesn’t currently support, building a library is a great way to contribute. Libraries help expand the Processing ecosystem and allow others to use your work. To get started, check out our [Library Template](https://processing.github.io/processing-library-template/), which provides a starting point for developing, packaging, and distributing Processing libraries.

Once your library is complete, you can submit it to the official [Processing Contributions](https://github.com/processing/processing-contributions) repository. This makes it discoverable through the PDE’s Contribution Manager. Follow the guidelines in the [Processing Library Guidelines](https://github.com/processing/processing4/wiki/Library-Guidelines).
