I think a lot of people would be bitterly disappointed about a lot of the contents of this and other ancient libraries that were eventually lost. Lots of  commentaries on Homer by hellenistic Beckmessers and Headmasters and books on magic and divination.
And, sure, maybe some lost Sophocles tragedies or Democritus or the 2nd book of Aristotle's Poetics ;)

Oh yes, like when you see an immense room full of impressive old books then realise they’re all theology. :(

To me it looked like the opening scene to the 1979 Buck Rogers movie.  :)
