History
The first libraries were only partly libraries, being composed for the most part of the unpublished records that make up archives. Archaeological findings from the diggings of the ancient city-states of Sumer have revealed temple rooms full of clay tablets in cuneiform script. These archives were made up nearly completely of the records of commercial transactions or inventories, with only a few documents touching theological matters or legends. Things were much the same in the government records on papyrus of Ancient Egypt.

I believe the "Free" Library was started by Ben Franklin in Philadelphia. As for the general idea of a library, I can't help you.

As I understand it, Ben Franklin is responsible for the concept of the modern library.
