[Library Manager](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/04/18/what-happened-to-bower/) (LibMan for short) is Visual Studio's new client-side static content management system. Yarn with Webpack is one popular alternative for which [migration instructions](https://bower.io/blog/2017/how-to-migrate-away-from-bower/) are available. [Bower](https://bower.io/) calls itself "A package manager for the web". Within the .NET ecosystem, it fills the void left by NuGet's inability to deliver static content files. For ASP.NET Core projects, these static files are inherent to client-side libraries like [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) and [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/). For .NET libraries, you still use [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) package manager.
