Tabriz National Library, National library in Tabriz, Iran.
Tabriz National Library is a modern building with multiple reading halls, research areas, and specialized departments located near Golestan Garden. The structure contains digital catalogs, rare manuscripts, and an extensive collection of books available for study and research.
The library was founded in 1956 by Mohammad Nakhjavani and local citizens who donated their private book collections. The original building was damaged in 1978 but was later reconstructed with government support.
The library holds rare handwritten Persian texts and serves as a gathering place for scholars and researchers from across the region. People come here to study historical documents and explore literary traditions that shaped their community.
Visitors can access the collection by registering for membership at the entrance and receiving a library card. The reading halls and digital resources are available during operating hours for researchers and the general public.
The library grew from donations of private book collections by ordinary citizens rather than being built solely through government initiative. This unusual origin makes it a place shaped by community participation and local dedication to preserving knowledge.
