The Guardians of the Lost Library is a comic book story made by Don Rosa for The Walt Disney Company. It was featured in Uncle Scrooge Adventures #27, published in July, 1994. In this story Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie, and General Snozzie search for the Lost Library of Alexandria and discover the origin of The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook.

Donald Duck and his nephews go to The Duckburg Museum to see the exhibit on artifacts from The first Junior Woodchucks. Scrooge McDuck is also there to get facts from The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook but the scoutmaster refuses, on the excuse that McDuck is too old to join the organization, and only members are allowed to read its guidebook. The real reason is that the scoutmaster suspects, correctly, that Scrooge would use the information mainly to enrich himself. Shortly afterwards, Scrooge tells the nephews that he would like to find the Library of Alexandria. After that, The head of The Junior Woodchucks organization agrees to sponsor Scrooge's trip as well as lend out General Snozzie the Woodchucks bloodhound. Scrooge and the nephews set out to find the lost library. They set out to Egypt, then Spain, then Greece, then Pisa, and then back to Duckburg. Scrooge and the nephews eventually discover that the last book of the lost library was buried under his money bin but the rats ate most of the books. They also discover that the book they found is the frame work for The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook. Later on Scrooge is depressed about not finding the book until the boys remind him that he would have had to turn it over to The Junior Woodchucks. Scrooge comments about how much money he saved.

This was Don Rosa's first use of General Snozzie.

Despite the fact that he was in the story Donald did not participate in the adventure he spent most of the story glued to the TV.

Scrooge makes a reference to Mickey Mouse Comics not being published anymore. That was true during the time this story was first published but it was mainly used as an inside joke.

The names Fulton Gearloose and Clinton Coot were first used in this story but it was not revealed that they were the fathers of Gyro Gearloose and Grandma Duck.

This story was later used as a reference to Part 10 of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

The story contains at least one historical error: It claims that Alexander the Great intended Alexandria to be the capital of his empire. Actually, he built it to be the capital of Egypt but not of the entire empire. Babylon was the capital of Alexander's empire.
