Contexto cultural
Libraries in Iran are often gender-segregated or have specific days for men and women, especially in smaller towns or religious centers. The 'Bagh-e Ketab' (Book Garden) in Tehran is one of the largest book centers in the world, making 'going to the library' a popular family weekend activity. During 'Konkur' season, students practically live in libraries. It's common to see people bringing blankets and food for a long day of 'کتابخانه رفتن'. Ancient libraries like the one in Gondishapur were world-renowned. The concept of 'going to the library' has been a mark of the elite and scholarly classes for centuries.
