     Libs are lbs. or pounds!  Gavin was working on weight in math and this came up...He asked me  "what are libs?" 
     
     So, then he said he always saw the word libs (lb) - but never really understood why... libs  or (lb) meant pound...and I could not answer that question..which lead us to the internet to find out why...
     
     Did you know that =
     The form lb is actually an abbreviation of the Latin word libra, which could mean a pound, itself a shortened form of the full expression, libra pondo, “pound weight”. The second word of this phrase, by the way, is the origin of the English pound.  (compliments of worldwidewords.org)
