ABSTRACT:

Libraries have a long history, leading up to theestablishment of public libraries. In the earliest times, there was nodistinction between a record room and a library. In this sense, libraries canbe said to have existed for almost as long as records have been kept.1 As earlyas the third millennium BC, a temple in Babylonia was found to have a number ofrooms filled with clay tablets, suggesting a well-stocked archive, or library.
