OK, I've fixed it.

Firstly... Where you have library as your class, you seem to have libary else where in the code, you need to change it all to library.

Secondly... in the library.displaylibrary() method, you're using yearpublish, not yearpublished.

Thirdly... When you call insert method, it needs to take...
String,String,String, int,int.
But you are actually passing in a String as the 4th argument, eg "201", so you need to make it 201.

I've just ran the program now, and it seems to work really well, all the books are ordered in alphabetical order. I would suggest using Library instead of library, since it is a class.

Hope that helps

Use code tags as well next time.

You also forgot the semicolon in the library method on the following line:

yearpublished = yrpub

which is exactly what your first error message says:

libmainsys.java:19: ';' expected
yearpublished = yrpub
