Alexandria Library
Alexandria-Monroe Public Library, Alexandria, Indiana. The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It was likely established under Ptolemy II Philadelphus in the third century BCE. At the time, written material came mostly in the form of papyrus scrolls because paper—as we know it—was not invented for another four centuries! The exact number of materials housed in the library is unknown, but sources report there were anywhere from 40,000 to 400,000 papyrus scrolls at the height of the library’s popularity.
