What happened to the Library of Alexandria?

LOST LIBRARY: What really happened to the Library of Alexandria? These are the theories. The loss of the ancient world's greatest repository of knowledge has been mourned for centuries—but Julius Caesar may not really be to blame (Erin Blakemore, National Geographic).

Did Julius Caesar really burn down the Great Library of Alexandria? Or was it Islamic scholars? Or the library’s patron himself? Here are all the leads historians have about the library’s destruction.

This is a good summary of the issues. I've posted before on the Library of Alexandria and its fate. See here, here, here and links. But the topic comes up occasionally, recently here. So it's as well to post an overview now and again.
