	Hi, Is it possible to add libraries to a project that aren't in the global Arduino libraries folder? I need to add specific versions of libraries to a project and don't want to mess up my global libraries. In the project I have a 'lib' folder with the required libraries but I cant see how to add them into the build path. i.e. I have a LiquidCrystal_I2C library in my main Arduino\libraries folder I don't want to change or overwrite but my project needs a different LiquidCrystal_I2C library. In my project I have a \lib\LiquidCrystal_I2C folder with all the library files. How can I target this instead of the Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal_I2C library? Thanks

	The best solution is to create a shared project for the library so then it can exist any where alternatively use the "create local library" option on the visual micro menus which will show you where to put local project libraries.
