The history of libraries
The ancient world
In earliest times there was no
distinction between a record room
(or archive) and a library, and in this
sense libraries can be said to have
existed for almost as long as records
have been kept. A temple in the
Babylonian town of Nippur, dating
from the first half of the 3rd
millennium BC, was found to have a
number of rooms filled with clay
tablets, suggesting a well-stocked
archive or library. Similar
collections of Assyrian clay tablets of
the 2nd millennium BC were found
