265.DID THEY HAVE LIBRARIES IN ANCIENT TIMES?

A library is an attempt to gather together man’s writings, and this effort was first made long before the birth of Christ.

 

Scientists who dug up Ur, the city of the patriarch Abraham, discovered a clay signet. This was a cylinder of clay on which there were writings. It goes back to 800 B.C., and may have belonged to the first library.
