I will opine that, while it is often a useful pedagogical exercise (and it's often useful to know how what a library is doing under the hood), reinventing the wheel is not generally good coding practice and if you have a library that does what you want (in this case, you do) it is good to use it.
Sometimes, of course, libraries are inadequate and you have to build your code from the ground up. But this is not always the case.
