Depends on what you mean by a library. The earliest collections of written materials are found in ancient Sumeria, but many of these are just piles of financial records; still, it's a start in the direction of "Hey, we ought to keep this stuff in case we need to look at it later.
" In my opinion, the first "real library" was the one at Nineveh, which was deliberately added to and maintained as a repository of knowledge in various subjects. Other famous libraries of the ancient world were those at Alexandria and Pergamum.
