A large part of the fine books of the library of Mujtaba Minvi, a well-known Iranian author, scholar and author, was damaged by the floods and rain on the evening of Saturday, November 7, in Tehran.
The photos documented by Massoma Ahmadi and published by the Iranian Book Agency show that many of the books in this library are wet due to water entering the building.
🔸Mohamed Dehgani, writer, literary critic and member of the board of trustees of this library, attributed this to the lack of supervision of the building by the officials and the clogging of the gutters.
Dehgani said in Ugo with Ivana: "These books, which are now wet and the children are drying them with hair dryers and fans, are all refined and there is nothing that anyone can replace with them. ".
The board of trustees of the Minoan library expressed its sorrow that the national and cultural wealth of the country was destroyed, and added: "I was constantly worried during the war because they messed around here. The glass of the war days was broken and only now we covered the window with plastic. They didn't even come to change this glass."
