1. A library apparatus comprising: a storage rack configured to store a plurality of storage media;a recording-reproducing device configured to perform writing of data to the storage media and reading of data from the storage media;a first movement device configured to include,a first attachment-detachment mechanism that inserts a storage medium to and extracts the storage medium from the storage rack or the recording-reproducing device,a first driving unit that supplies first driving force to the first attachment-detachment mechanism, anda first coupling unit that transmits second driving force to the first attachment-detachment mechanism; anda second movement device configured to include,a second coupling unit that transmits third driving force to the first coupling unit when the second coupling unit is coupled with the first coupling unit, anda second driving unit that supplies fourth driving force to the second coupling unit. 2. The library apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the second movement device includes a second attachment-detachment mechanism including a function the same as that of the first attachment-detachment mechanism, andthe second driving unit supplies the fourth driving force to the second attachment-detachment mechanism and the second coupling unit. 3. The library apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second movement devices includes a stopper that maintains a predetermined distance or more between the first and second movement devices as a gap and a lock mechanism that locks the stopper and includes an unlocking function. 4. The library apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a controller, the controller configured to cause the lock mechanism to enter an unlocked state and then to move the second movement device so that the first and second coupling units are coupled with each other to drive the second driving unit so that the first attachment-detachment mechanism performs an attachment-detachment operation, when the controller detects that the storage-medium attachment-detachment operation performed by the first attachment-detachment mechanism is interrupted. 5. The library apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the first and second movement devices are movable along a reference axis which is parallel to the storage rack,the stopper maintains the predetermined distance or more between the first and second movement devices as the gap in a direction of the reference axis when the lock mechanism is in a lock state, andthe controller unlocks the lock mechanism when the controller detects that the storage-medium attachment/detachment operation performed between the first attachment-detachment mechanism and the storage rack by the first attachment-detachment mechanism is interrupted, and moves the second movement device toward the first movement device along the reference axis so that the first and second coupling units are coupled with each other. 6.
