Iran among top nations with most public libraries

TEHRAN, (MNA) – The head of the Public Libraries Foundation says that Iran is among top countries that have the highest number of public libraries.

Mehdi Ramezani made the remarks at an inauguration ceremony of a public library in Iran's Zanjan city.

Thanks to the Islamic Republic Establishment's insistance on people education, Iran is considered one of the pioneers in terms of public libraries in the globe, he said.

Iranians enjoy 3,800 public libraries across the country, he further noted.

On August 23, Ramezani said that Iran stands at the 14th place in terms of library networks in the world.
