# {% load %}

used to load one or more libraries of tags and filters.

## Documentation

Used to load one or more libraries of tags and filters. This could be a library built in to Django, such as [`django.contrib.humanize`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/ref/contrib/humanize), a third-party library, or a library you create yourself.

You can only load template tag libraries that are included in `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py`.
