-higan maintains a "game library"
-containing all the games you've played.
+The game library
+is the folder where all the
+[game folders](game-folders.md) go.
+When [icarus](../interface/icarus.md) imports a game,
+it creates or updates
+the corresponding game folder in the game library.
+When you use the console menu items
+in [higan's Library menu](../interface/higan.md#the-library-menu),
+it higan shows you the games for that console
+already in the library.

-    (To find your profile folder,
-    press `Win+R` to open the Run dialog,

+Why a game library?
+-------------------
+
+higan [requires game folders](game-folders.md#why-game-folders),
+but it also invented game folders,
+so existing games need
+to be converted to game folder format
+before higan can play them.
+The converted copy of a game needs to go *somewhere*.
+
+Also,
+for people who have a huge collection of games,
+the game library only lists the games they actually play,
+rather than every possible game,
+making it easier to find the games they like.
