The ancient Alexandria Library was built in the early Ptolemy Dynasty in the third century BC. It was the largest library in the world at that time. It collected more than 500,000 volumes. It included literature and materials in literature, science and technology, art, philosophy and other fields, attracting famous scientists, philosophers and other places. Thinkers and artists came to visit, such as Archimedes and Euclid, to conduct research, lecture, write books and engage in other academic exchanges. Alexandria became the world's cultural and scientific center at the time. The Ptolemy dynasty was also distinguished by its talents, producing a group of astronomers, geographers, mathematicians, medical scientists and linguists who made outstanding contributions to the world's scientific and technological culture. The new library is located on the seafront avenue of Alexandria on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, next to the large statue of the "Bride of the Mediterranean", which costs $110 million, is novel and unique and eye-catching. The new library covers a comprehensive range of subjects, including the main library, youth library, blind library, planetarium, manuscripts display hall, ancient books museum, cultural relics museum, science and history museum, taking into account the needs of children, blind people and visually impaired people; The books are all-inclusive and everything. For Alexandria and visitors from all over the world, the Library of Alexandria is a wonderful place.
