| Summary | "The Beginnings of Libraries" by Ernest Cushing Richardson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the origins and development of libraries throughout human history, analyzing how they have transformed from primitive record-keeping methods to more complex and organized collections. It serves as an insightful reference for anyone interested in the evolution of libraries and their significance in human society. The opening of this work sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of library history. Richardson discusses the importance of understanding the beginnings of libraries as a crucial aspect of library science. He highlights the necessity for library students to study these origins to grasp the broader purpose and evolution of libraries. The introductory section introduces multiple dimensions of library beginnings, including early libraries, library science, and the education surrounding librarianship, thus establishing a framework for the subsequent detailed exploration of the topic.
