This past summer on my way back to U.S, I stayed in London
for several weeks. One of my friends introduced me to the
Iranian library that just opened up in London. After going
there for couple of days I got to know them pretty well.
I told them all about our newsgroup and promised them to post
an article regarding their work. I was very impressed by 
the magnitude of their work. If you happen to be in London
I strongly encourage you to visit the library. Hope you find it 
interesting too. If you have any future questions please let
me know.

                    Library For Iranian Studies
		    ===========================


Lack of valuable resources for cultural and literal Iranian books,
huge cost of providing new books, and the increasing demand for a
cultural center has motivated the board of trustee of "Fasl-e Ketab"
to establish the first Iranian library in London on November 16, 1991.
(Fasl-e Ketab is an independent Persian book review publication - See the
end for more information on Fasl-e Ketab.)

Library for Iranian Studies is absolutely an independent agency and
does not affliates with any political groups or agencies. The entire
cost for establishing this library is donated by our fellow citizen's
around the world.

Anyone regardless of their race, ethnic or religion may join and use
this library. The library will accept any kind of donation from books
to publications and money. The continuing existence of this library
is solely dependent on people's contribution. As of August of 1992,
the library has received over 120,000 pounds of donations. 


So far the library has collected over 6000 books and magazines. There
is absolutely no censorship on the types of the books available. It 
is worth noting again that this library does not and will not support 
any political organization.

This library is unique compared to the other Iranian libraries such as
the one in Oxford and Cambridge in the following two main areas.

1- Anyone can join the library free of charge.(No fee is required).

2- It contains all of the most recent Iranian books and publications. 
   (especially all the publications after the revolution)


The board of trustee are:

Mr. Mahmoud Kianosh
Dr. Mohammad-Ali Homayoun Katozeyan
Dr. Mojgan Farzaneh ghaemee 
Mr. Habibolah Jorbandy
Dr. Mashallah Ajudani
