There was no explorers in the middle ages. When exploration started that is when the middle ages ended.

The 'middle ages' is also known as the 'medieval period'.
During the Middle Ages the monks were the people who preserved books and wrote books. The population of the Middle Ages couldn't read or write and there were really no schools for them to go to. Monks spent years creating and copying books. One of the great books that was done in this time was the Book of Kells.
Monks and nuns copied books as a form of spiritual practice, to spread knowledge and preserve important texts. Monasteries served as centers of learning in the Middle Ages, and copying books was a way to study and meditate on the texts. Additionally, the act of copying books helped ensure that knowledge was not lost to future generations.
A monk usually lived in a monastic community. There he would pray, chant or sing and do other chores to help his group such as farming, baking, making cheese and wine, or copying books or illustrating books.

Yes, and not just during the middle ages. The Church maintained an Index Librorum Prohibitorum - a list of banned books - which the faithful were forbidden to read. The Index was abolished in 1966.
