Two possibilities: a private archive of clay tablets was found at Ugarit, a city in ancient Sumer; these were mostly business records. Also, the Biblical city of Nineveh had an extensive library of clay tablets on a wider range of subjects, including literature. If I remember correctly some important variants of the Gilgamesh story were found there.

The Babylonians were a Mesopotamian civilization, as were all ancient civilizations between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

This Is because cuneiform was written with a wedge shaped stylus, usually made for twigs or copper. Unlike the Egyptians, the Babylonians did not use paper, but a soft clay tablet to write into.
