The General Director of Endowments and Charitable Affairs of Zanjan province went on to discuss the condition of the "Hosseinieh Azam Zanjan" library, which was damaged after the American-Zionist attacks, and said: "This library with 35,000 books was a valuable treasure, which unfortunately suffered serious damage."

He pointed out that in the new development plan of Hosseinieh Azam, the use of the library space is included as one of the main parts, he added: despite the loss of about 5,000 volumes of specialized and rare books in the field of Imam Hosseinology (which fortunately were not manuscripts), our will is to build a modern, qualitative and comprehensive library. In this way, we will take advantage of the support of dignitaries, cultural institutions, and the participation of benefactors so that this cultural place will once again become an active base for book lovers.

In the end, Kerami pointed out the supporting duties of the endowment department in the field of books and reminded: many blessed places in the province have libraries, and some centers such as "Suhrvardi Library" are fully endowed, and the income from the intention of the endowment is directly spent on maintaining and equipping the same library.
