You can use such a library.  In general, if a library is part
of nunki, it's perfectly fine to use it, unless it's
explicitly prohibited.  If you want to use a 3rd-party library
that you can download from the Internet, you just need to make
it very clear where you got it from, as explained in the first
lecture.
