“Timbuktu” from UNESCO.org, “Timbuktu” from Britannica, “A Guide to Timbuktu, Mali” from National Geographic, “Timbuktu” & “The Camel Caravans of the Ancient Sahara" & “The Spread of Islam in Ancient Africa" from World History Encyclopedia.
“Medieval Towns and Trade Networks” from “The Middle Ages Around The World” by Joyce E.

Additionally, the book "The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu" by Joshua Hammer is a well-regarded narrative history of saving the manuscripts Timbuktu from Al Qaeda in the 1980s – I haven't personally read it, but it's a good next step to read, and is likely available at your local library or bookstore.
