 Kirjath-sepher
    city of books, Josh. 15:15; same as Kirjath-sannah (q.v.), now
    represented by the valley of ed-Dhaberiyeh, south-west of
    Hebron. The name of this town is an evidence that the Canaanites
    were acquainted with writing and books. "The town probably
    contained a noted school, or was the site of an oracle and the
    residence of some learned priest." The "books" were probably
    engraved stones or bricks.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
