        Bibliotheca Alexandrina

         
        Situated in Alexandria, Egypt, Bibliotheca Alexandrina is one of the oldest libraries in the world. Built in the 3rd century BC by Ptolemaic I of Egypt, the ancient Library of Alexandria had the richest collection of manuscripts produced during the 400-300 BC period and once as famous as the Alexandria Lighthouse. She was seen as the "sun" of Mediterranean civilization and the supreme representative of the achievements, but sadly was destroyed by fire later.
         
        In 2002, Egypt rebuilt the new Library of Alexandria, now the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, near the original site. As one of the major libraries and cultural centers along the Mediterranean coast, the new library is seen both as a memorial to the ancient Library of Alexandria and as an attempt to revitalize Egyptian academic culture.
         

         

        The main building of the new Library has a semicircular dome, a pyramid-shaped conference hall, and skillfully combined geometric forms which outline the long history of the library. No matter from which side of view, its main building looks like a slanting sun, symbolizing the cultural light that illuminates the world. The granite-textured cultural wall is engraved with characters, letters and symbols from the 50 oldest languages all over the world, including Chinese characters, which highlights the civilization and culture represented by the library.

         

         

        Besides main library and its affiliated libraries, Bibliotheca Alexandrina has six specialized libraries, four museums, twelve academic research centers, four art galleries for temporary exhibition, the ALEXploratorium (an exploratorium for introducing children to science), the Planetarium Science Center (PSC) and the Conference Center (which can accommodate up to thousands of people).

         

         

        In terms of collections construction, Bibliotheca Alexandrina gives priority to the collection of materials from the ancient Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria and Egypt, followed by materials from Mediterranean countries, the Arab countries and Africa, and then materials from other parts of the world. The library has a large collection of rare books, classics, manuscripts, calligraphy, paintings and video products, some inlaid with precious stones, some on leather paper and gold characters. The cultural heritage and wisdom of all ethnic groups in the world shine here. In addition to its literature collection, Bibliotheca Alexandrina also has a large collection of ancient coins from all over the world. The library currently has 250,000 volumes of books, 6,700 rare books or extinct books, and more than 200,000 volumes of miniature films and audio-visual materials.
