      **Wikidata**: Q25504402\n\n**IMPORTANT: This is an OrganizationBranch, NOT a\
      \ standalone CustodianType**\n\nArchival libraries are organizational units\
      \ (branches/sections) within a \nlarger Archive custodian. They do NOT exist\
      \ independently - they are always\nembedded within an archive organization.\n\
      \n**Scope**:\nArchival libraries (Archivbibliotheken) hold:\n- Reference works\
      \ for archival research\n- Published guides and finding aids\n- Local history\
      \ publications\n- Genealogical reference materials\n- Legal and administrative\
      \ handbooks\n- Periodicals related to archive holdings\n\n**Organizational Context**:\n\
      Archival libraries are typically:\n- Embedded within larger archive organizations\
      \ (as org:OrganizationalUnit)\n- Supporting the research mission of the parent\
      \ archive\n- Providing context for archival collections\n- Serving both staff\
      \ and external researchers\n\n**Branch Relationship**:\n- Use `is_branch_of`\
      \ to link to the parent Archive custodian\n- Use `branch_type` = BRANCH_LIBRARY\
      \ for classification\n\n**Related Types**:\n- Archive (Q166118) - Parent archive\
      \ organization\n- SpecialCollection (Q4431094) - Specialized library holdings\n\
      - OrganizationBranch - Parent class for organizational units\n\n**Dual-Class\
      \ Pattern**:\nThis class represents the BRANCH type (the library unit within\
      \ an archive).\nFor the collection type, see `ArchivalLibraryRecordSetType`\
      \ (rico:RecordSetType).\n\n**Ontological Alignment**:\n- **W3C ORG**: org:OrganizationalUnit\
      \ (branch of parent archive)\n- **Schema.org**: schema:Library (hybrid archive-library)\n\
      - **RiC-O**: rico:CorporateBody (as agent)\n\n**Multilingual Labels**:\n- de:\
      \ Archivbibliothek\n- es: biblioteca de archivo\n- fr: bibliothèque liée à une\
      \ institution conservant des archives\n"

    comments:
    - 'BRANCH type: Archival library is a section WITHIN an archive, not standalone'
    - Uses org:OrganizationalUnit pattern from W3C ORG ontology
    - 'Part of dual-class pattern: branch type + rico:RecordSetType'
    - Holdings are primarily published works, not archival records
    - ALWAYS linked to parent Archive via is_branch_of
