Sell the historic manuscripts to museums and collectors for as much money as possible. Retire, proceed to enjoy the vast amount of reading material.

Sell the historic manuscripts to collectors for as much money as possible in order to fund a scientific/industrial complex based mostly on plagiarizing future textbooks.

You don't sell the whole thing. You sell the books, because because the place contains every book they're still going to be there tomorrow so you can sell them again.

So you're saying I could burn it to boil water and generate infinite electricity?

New hypothetical. You somehow now own a library containing at least one copy of one book ever written(and one copy of every book that will be written for the next ten years). What do?
Well you'd probably want to get a priceless historical book from the library of Alexandria or Bagdhad or something. Either that or top sekrit documents from a government detailing how the moon landing was faked because the moon isn't real

Turns out both the Alexandrian and Bagdad libraries only held ancient fanfiction and furry porn. Sorry.

Quote
Re called the Two Contendors before Him. He passed Divine Jugdment upon Them for Their wrong-doings. He demanded that They cease their quarreling. Seth appeared to agree. He invited Horus to stay with Him in His palace.

One evening, as the two lay together resting, Seth inserted his penis between the thighs of Horus. Horus, however, unknown to the Dark Lord of Storm, had caught Seth's semen in His hand. With the help of His mother, Isis, He placed His own semen upon lettuce growing in a garden; lettuce that Seth was to eat.

Seth spake unto Horus, "Come, let us go, that I may contend with you in the Court." Within the Court, Seth declared, "Let the office of Ruler be given to Me, for as regards Horus who stands here, I have done a man's deed to Him."

Horus laughed and said, "What Seth has said is false. Let the semen of Seth be called, and let us see from where it will answer."

And so Thoth, the Self Created, called upon the semen of Seth. The answer came from a far-away marsh, where Isis had long since deposited it.

Horus said, "Let mind be called, and let us see from where it will answer."

Then Thoth laid His hand on the arm of Seth and said, "Come out, semen of Horus!" And it spake unto Him, "Where shall I come out?" Thoth said to it, "Come out of His ear." It replied to Him, "Should I come out of His ear, I who am Divine Seed?" Then it came out as a Golden Sun Disk upon the head of Seth. Seth became very angry, and He stretched forth His hand to seize the Golden Disk.
