Product Version may be preferred if you're using versioning via GitVersion or other versioning software.

To get this from within your class library you can call System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.ProductVersion:

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;

//...

var assemblyLocation = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
var productVersion = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assemblyLocation).ProductVersion
