Special libraries are funded by their organizations or corporations.
Public libraries are funded largely or entirely by their cities and/or counties and often receive some donations from members of the public. Academic libraries are funded by their universities, which receive funding from tuition, donors, and state government. Some private libraries charge for membership. The Boston Athenæum and the London Library are examples of these.

What did the library that Augustus made do for rome?
Augustus built two libraries. The first was in the Temple of Apollo on the Palatine hill, which he dedicated in 28 BC. It was divided into a Latin and a Greek collection. It was one of the two main libraries in Rome for several hundred years and survived until the 4th century AD. The other one was in the Porticus Octaviae and had a magnificent statue of Octavia, Augustus' sister. This has been called the Octavian library and survived until into the second century AD. These two public libraries became prime facilities for learning and became very important for the advanced education of the Roman educated elites and for the pursuits of Roman intellectuals. They did not have much an effect for the Romans masses, which were illiterate. Augustus started the traditions of emperors being responsible for building libraries. This led to better facilities and better funding (through the imperial coffers). Prior to that libraries depended on private funding. Other emperors also built public library. Caracalla built a Latin and a Greek library in the baths of Caracalla.
