The oldest library, St. Catherine's Monastary, is located in Sinai, Egypt. It was built in the middle of the 6th century and houses the second largest collection of religious material in the world (after the Vatican). However it is not accessible to the public, only by monks and invited scholars. If you meant this oldest RUNNING LIBRARY, this next paragraph is what you'll want to see: The bibliotheque de Paris (Library of Paris) combined with the National Library of France, is the oldest continually running public library service, dating back to 1368 when it was housed at the Louvre. It has moved several times over the past 700 years, into newer and larger accomodation and new premises again are currently in the design phase. === === I hope I could help. All of this info. was quoted from this website:http://ttglibrary.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/ever-wondered-what-the-oldest-library-in-the-world-is/
Thanks, Nicky :)
