Question

ASSIGNMENT-Propound on why a library is said to be 'the memory of the human race'

Answer 1

Since history began, (not that I'm talking about after history) we've wrote many things, that vary from records to plays. A library is said to be the memory of the human racebecause we write so much about what we remember, know, feel, think, and learn, and as books are ideas already written down, they're usually deemed as a memory. 

Answer 2

It has been said that a book is the extension of the memory and imagination of man and the library is the memory of humanity. Books break the bonds of time. In the libraries men met to study, reason, educate themselves and spread the knowledge acquired. In ancient Egypt the libraries were called "houses of life". The scribes were the ones who produced the oldest manuscripts. The book is a very important creation since there appear records of data and information that can transport the reader to another time, give information and instruct.
