Wow, what a fabulous ride through the history of libraries! I learned a few words thanks to this article, and the images are spectacular. Where is that first library?

I recently heard of a dedicated librarian in either Mali or Niger working with Canadian counterparts to smuggle priceless historical books out of their libraries to Canada before the local ISIS splinter groups could destroy them. Books and libraries inspire such passion! And as you say, what a loss to humanity that the library in Alexandria burned down....

Thanks for a fantastic read, @mother2chicks! Loved it, and learned a lot! 😊😊
