A data storage library and method for adaptively storing data cartridges therein utilizes a housing and a plurality of partitions removably mounted within the housing. Each partition has a longitudinal axis, a first side, and a second side, where each side includes a plurality of slots sized to receive at least a portion of a data cartridge. Either the partitions or the housing includes projections, and the other includes sets of apertures sized to receive the projections in order to mount the partitions within the housing. Pairs of partitions can be spaced and aligned with either their first sides or their second sides facing to form arrays capable of storing data cartridges. By removing a selected pair of partitions from a selected set of apertures, rotating the selected pair of partitions about an axis perpendicular to the partition longitudinal axis, and remounting the selected pair of partitions in the selected set of apertures, the spacing of the selected pair of partitions can be changed to accommodate cartridges of a different size.
