The origin of the first libraries can be traced to human efforts in the document collection. Favorite topics would depend on accessibility, acquisition, identifying the tools for arrangement in appropriate order, the trade in books, getting hold of materials, their physical properties, their language and its distribution, the part they play in education, the level of literacy and the finances. Other factors would include the areas of staffing, targeting special audiences, its inseparable role in the development of the cultural heritage of the country involved, not to speak of the involvement of private sponsorship, the Church or the government in its affairs. Digitization and computerization started playing a major role since its advent in the 1960s.The inseparable relationship between the libraries and education started way back in the Byzantium or Constantinople (the ancient city of Thrace in modern Turkey’s Istanbul that, the Greeks founded in the seventh century). Monks wrote incessantly in Scriptoriums (Rooms in monasteries earmarked for manuscript writing), to preserve and accumulate the results of their Hellenistic thoughts on what became large libraries that were solely devoted to the monks’ education in spiritual advancement. Throughout Europe’s dark ages, most of the Greco-Roman classics were preserved by these monastery scriptoriums, reviving in its wake, the tradition of orthodox libraries and education models that, in turn, were instrumental in the progressive development of libraries and intellectual culture and learning that were inevitable with the vast resources at hand. 18th century history, educational materials and Buddhist scriptures, stored in “Pitakataik" a library that founded by King Mindon Min during the pre-colonial era as one of the eight structures that were established in honor of naming Mandalay as his capital), further reinforced the destinies of libraries with education. Library and education thus became symbiotically and inexorably dependent on one another. Over the years, we have learned that the library; education, literacy and national development always went hand in hand and have influenced everyone from the primary school students to the highest levels of education, not to speak of the informal medium of adult literacy.
