The oldest library of which we are currently aware is the Library of Ashurbanipal, in the ancient Mesopotamian city of Nineveh (located across the Tigris river from the modern city of Mosul, Iraq).

It contains a collection of clay tablets written in cuneiform, most of which are about 2,600 - 2,700 years old; the most famous work which was found there is the classic Epic of Gilgamesh.
