Meteor: Where should we put common functions?

I have some common functions (E.g. trimInput(), isEmail(), isFacebookPage()...) in my project that I often use on client side. I was wondering where would it be the best place to put them so as to avoid code duplication?

trimInput = function(value) {
    return value.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g, "");
};

In addition to the server and client folders, I usually create a both folder, containing all code that should be on both the client and the server. You basically get the same results as if you would name it lib, but putting common code in a folder named lib does not always make sense.

If you use these functions on both the server side and client side.

I would declare it has a helper function within a common.js file inside a /lib folder.

Call them "helper" functions, not necessarily handlebars helpers.

This unofficial FAQ should give you an idea where to place what.
