Game Info:
Basic science building of the Ancient Era.
+1 Science for every 2 Citizens in this City.
Strategy:
The Library increases the science output of the city, speeding up the civ's acquisition of new technology. It is the starting science building, so it's a must (all other buildings from the science chain require it), and its effect is greater the greater the population of the cities it's built in.
You need Library in every city in order to unlock the National College.
Note: The Great Library wonder provides a free Library in the city, so don't bother building a Library if you plan on constructing this wonder in that city!
Historical Info:
A library is a building housing a collection of books, scrolls, and other written material. Historically, books have been fairly expensive, often beyond the reach of a civilization's poorer classes. The library allows the poor access to the same knowledge as the rich, greatly improving their chances of success and advancement.
