Abstract
Brief History of Libraries
The history of libraries can be streamlined into 3 periods. These are: the Ancient Times, the
Medieval Times and the Modern Time.
• The Ancient Times
Libraries started about 6,000 years ago and are believed to have developed as a result of human communication. This communication by man led to the accumulation of knowledge which is required to be recorded and stored for use in future. Consequently, man devised several means of retaining knowledge such as incantations, proverbs, poems, songs, folklores, and storytelling. However, in spite of the high human memory and intellect, much of this knowledge were forgotten or lost. Furthermore, man's many activities in agriculture, trade, religion, social interaction and governance demanded documentation, so man can refer to past records for policy and decision making. This compelling need brought out the ingenuity in man to develop the method for documenting knowledge.
