Is it true that the Library of Alexandria existed as a real research library in Egypt from the third century BCE?

Yes. Multiple reference and scholarly sources describe the Library of Alexandria as a real institution founded in Ptolemaic Egypt around the third century BCE, with National Geographic dating its construction to about 295 BCE and a peer-reviewed conference volume calling it the world's main center of scholarship from the 3rd century BC.
