The first and oldest library of which archaeologists are aware is found in Iraq; it was the Library of Ashurbanipal, a collection of clay tablets dating from the 7th century BCE, left behind by the ancient Assyrians in the city known as Nineveh.

Of course, the greatest library of ancient times would be the Library of Alexandria in Egypt, before it was accidentally destroyed by fire in the year 48 BCE.
