How to differentiate between 'Style Library' and any document library in SharePoint CSOM

Question

How to differentiate between SharePoint 'Style Library' and any other document library. For other libraries I am able to differentiate using 'BaseTemplate' (ListTemplateType), however 'Style Library' and document libraries both have same base template i.e. 101. 'Style Library' is special system list which I would like to differentiate with other doc libraries.

So could you please help me with this. Thanks in advance !

Hi @Yuvraj Patil ,
Per my research, Style Library is a document library automatically created by system. It's function is also same with other document library to store files, as its name suggests — is where the system saves CSS files, XSL files, and even images used in page layouts and controls. So we are unable to differ it with other document libraries by base template. They are all 101 too. I have compared some properties of them. And Style Library also don't have any unique properties. We can only differentiate them between List Title or List Id.
