Understanding branching

ProjectRoot
        |
        |__Lib-A
        |
        |__Lib-B

Suppose I'm working on a project which (among other things) builds two self-contained libraries called Lib-A and Lib-B. Everything is under svn control with the layout as shown above (ProjectRoot being the main svn root for the project). At some stage I want to create a branch of Lib-B for someone else to work on.

I appreciate that if I was to open Windows Explorer, right-click on ProjectRoot and create a branch, this would create a new branch of the entire project. But suppose I right-clicked on the Lib-B subfolder and created a branch from there... what would it give me? Would it just create an independent branch of Lib-B? Or would it create a complete new branch of the entire project? Hope that makes sense.
