Constructing public libraries in poor villages is inherent to the concept of cultural development. Having strong faith in this idea, the Cultural Development Fund (CDF) has established several libraries in villages that had long been deprived of such facilities. The CDF has been keen on constructing the libraries in a way that their architecture coincides with the ambiance of corresponding villages. Each library comprises two reading halls one for children (32 children) and another for youth (36 youth). Both halls encompass not less than 4000 books covering all fields of knowledge. Libraries also include a hall for hobbies and activities and a hall for computer users. The garden is the most important component of each library as it is used as a vast green area for free reading, playing for children and entertainment.
