The Library of Alexandria is one of the world’s largest and most famous libraries. The modern Library of Alexandria reminds us of the ancient Library of Alexandria and its past glory days.
Information about the Bibliotheca Alexandrina:
Some people believe that Ptolemy II built the ancient Library of Alexandria at the beginning of the third century BC when Alexander the Great was king (285 BC – 247 BC).
People believed the Library to be a cultural center because it contained works by great writers and thinkers such as Plato, Homer, Herodotus, and Socrates from the ancient Greek and Roman times. It had between 400,000 and 700,000 manuscripts of manuscripts on a wide range of subjects for the most knowledgeable people in many fields.
It was believed to be the first public government library in ancient times. It was on the beautiful shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and anyone could use it, not just priests like in ancient Egypt.
History of the Library of Alexandria:

The Library was able to combine the cultural and scientific aspects of both the Egyptian and Greek civilizations. Every thinker, scientist, or writer gave copies of their works to the Library to keep them safe, making it one of the most important monuments of the time.
A fire destroyed the Great Library about 2,000 years ago, in 48 BC. The fire burned the building and all the documents written by poets, historians, travelers, and scholars. Later, between the Eleventh and Fourteenth Dynasties, earthquakes destroyed any evidence of the building.
The new Library in Alexandria:
The new Library of Alexandria is located at or near where the old Library was found, in the eastern harbor. With help from UNESCO, the project was completed and inaugurated on October 16, 2002. It is known for being the sixth-largest Library in the world for people who speak French.
The Library contains Arabic, English, and French books, and it also has the most extensive collection of French books in North Africa and the Middle East. It has six specialized arts and multimedia libraries. These are the Taha Hussein Library for the Visually Impaired, the Archaeological and Special Collection, the Children’s Library, the Youth Library, and the Fine Shapes Library.
