The history of libraries dates back to ancient civilizations, where they served as repositories for knowledge and culture.

• Ancient Libraries: The earliest libraries were found in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, where clay tablets and papyrus scrolls were stored for scholars. 

• Classical Era: In Greece and Rome, libraries became more organized, with notable examples like the Library of Alexandria, which was a center of learning and scholarship. 

• Middle Ages: During the Middle Ages, monasteries preserved texts, and libraries began to emerge in universities, marking a shift towards public access to knowledge. 

Modern Era: The 19th and 20th centuries saw the establishment of public libraries, driven by the belief in the importance of literacy and education for all.
