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.

Are all libraries non-profit?

No. There are a lot of for-profit libraries. Most for-profit libraries are corporate libraries, while non-profit libraries tend to be public libraries. Many libraries charge other libraries for the use of their resources - particularly if they have rare or subject specific items. This charge varies from library to library, however it is often very expensive for public libraries and they typically lose money in providing this service.
