The history of the library was a fascinating story of what started out as a collection of papyrus scrolls, to painted manuscripts, to what we know now as the modern library. We take for granted the access we have to physical copies of books with little to no restriction. The only downside to this audio was the accent of the narrator caused me to reduce the speed at which I normally listen to audiobooks to understand what was being said.
