Wikipedia article with some basic information. I find it hilarious that WaPo doesn’t have a clue and was posturing he’d build one in Florida or Trump Tower.
Anywho, here’s the related Q drops:

Great thought noggin! I was not thinking about POTUS' Library!
Obama documents are available to the public.
You can file your request here https://www.obamalibrary.gov/digital-research-room/finding-aids/freedom-information-act-foia-requests
Whether or not Trump builds a museum/piece to his library, he still has a Presidential Library.
https://www.trumplibrary.gov/
The Donald J. Trump Presidential records are governed by the Presidential Records Act (PRA). Under the provisions of the PRA, Trump Presidential records are not available to public access requests for the first five years after the end of the Administration. (While the PRA states that the public cannot request records until five years after the end of the administration, the Library may open records prior to that date.) Trump Presidential records will become subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests on January 20, 2026.
Have you actually looked at what the Obama library allows people to see via FOIA?
There are multiple requests that have not been honored. Kerry Washington files have been blocked from public viewing, for one.
You should actually look into NARA. All of this plays into why they’re pissed about his files and raided Mar A Lago, I’m pretty sure.
I don't think they announce a library until AFTER their term(s)! Keke
Trump doesn't need a "library" to house his legacy.
WE see it every day.
