+### Adding libraries
+
+You can manage front-end asset libraries with Composer thanks to the
+[asset-packagist repository](https://asset-packagist.org/). Composer will detect
+and install new versions of a library that meet the stated constraints.
+
+```bash
+composer require bower-asset/dropzone
+```
+
+### Custom installation paths for libraries
+
+The installation path of a specific library can be controlled by adding it to
+the `extra.installer-paths` configuration preceding `web/libraries/{$name}`.
+For example, the `chosen` Drupal module expects the `chosen` library to be
+located on `web/libraries/chosen`, but `composer require npm-asset/chosen-js`
+installs the library into `web/libraries/chosen-js`. The following configuration
+overrides installation it into the expected directory:
+
+```json
+{
+    "extra": {
+        "installer-paths": {
+            "web/libraries/chosen": [
+                "npm-asset/chosen-js"
+            ],
+            "web/libraries/{$name}": [
+                "type:drupal-library",
+                "type:npm-asset",
+                "type:bower-asset"
+            ]
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
