I'm really hoping that the library contains some lost older Greek works. But its going to be awesome what ever we find.

I'm hoping for a complete(ish) Heraclitus. Also Eratosthenes, whose methods have been described but we don't have the original work where we calculated the circumference of the Earth. Also Hipparchus and Thales.
My pick would easily be the missing books of ab urbe condita by Livy, so much early Roman history that would be wonderfully filled out for us
Also, Aristarchus.
