The Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (Kanoon) is actively engaged in a wide range of activities, from showcasing its book productions to conducting specialized training courses for librarians, highlighting its comprehensive approach to promoting literacy and intellectual growth.

According to the Iran Book and Literature House News Agency (IBNA), Kanoon’s initiatives include exhibitions of its latest children’s and young adult books, which cover various genres from fiction and poetry to science and history. These displays aim to introduce new titles to young readers and educators, encouraging engagement with diverse literary content.

The training courses for librarians focus on modern library management techniques, storytelling methods, digital literacy, and strategies for engaging children and adolescents with books.

A spokesperson for Kanoon stated: “Our goal is to create a holistic environment that nurtures intellectual curiosity. By both producing high-quality books and empowering librarians with the necessary skills, we aim to ensure that children and young adults have access to enriching literary experiences and guidance.” These efforts contribute significantly to the cultural and educational landscape for young generations.
