The first books were wooden. They were made in Rome. Romans wrote on them using “stylus”. Thin strips of leather or metal rings were used to hold them together. Once the book-making process was finished, they were put on the bookshelf. They lasted for a very long time. Even today we can read some of them. Also, papyrus and skins of young animals was used to make books.
Papermaking was known for a long time in China, but came later to Europe. Books were very common in ancient Rome. They were even beautifully decorated.
Thanks to the invention of printing many people could also read books. Before it was difficult to distribute many books like that. Printing became very popular. It spread throughout Europe.
Before libraries were used only by scientists. There weren’t many libraries and it was difficult to access them. Later public libraries finally appeared, and they became much more accessible. Now many universities and countries have their own libraries that hold very old books.
Modern libraries are not much more efficient. They are much more advanced and use technology.
