Organizer of TIBF

This Institute was established in 1992 as a non-governmental institute and has been commissioned by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to stage a number of cultural events, particularly Tehran International Book Fair (TIBF), provincial book fairs and cultural festivals at home and abroad. The ultimate goal is to promote and expand book reading in Iran.
