    The idea of reviving the old library dates back to 1974 when a committee set up by Alexandria University selected a plot of land for its new library, between the campus and the seafront, close to where the ancient library once stood. The recreation of the ancient library was not only adopted by other individuals and agencies, but it also garnered support from Egyptian politicians
