Ganjineh is a growing collection of books and audio works: plays, poetry, fiction, history and research, in Persian, English and other languages. New works from the world's trusted archives are added every day.

Search: enter a title, author, translator or subject in Persian or English. One field is enough.

Subjects: use the subject list to narrow your search to one category, for example only drama or only poetry. Results are also shelved by subject.

Browse: the "Browse Ganjineh" button shows the whole collection, shelf by shelf.

If no free link is found in Ganjineh, a wider search starts by itself: allow about a minute. The search result, the book's address and its existing verified translations are shown free for everyone, and verified findings are added to Ganjineh.

Every book links to its legitimate source; Ganjineh links only to legal, readable copies.

The "Translations of this work" button lists published translations of a work.

The advanced-search result, the book's address and its existing verified translations are free for everyone. Library members receive the rendering of each book guide into the other language, and the new-on-the-market list with each book's description and a readers' reviews link. If you are a library member, enter your card number in the membership box. Foundation students, members, artists and volunteers get the annual library membership at 50% off; your Foundation card is the key to that discount at purchase.

Nationality search: under "Search by author nationality", enter a nationality and a category (the publication year is optional) to search both Ganjineh's holdings and the world book market on the same terms. For example: American, Fiction.

Library membership covers the library only and does not carry the benefits of Owrang membership.

The "For Owrang Students" section: for copyright-free classical texts approved by the management, a dictionary-style glossary of words, sounds and meanings in both languages is prepared, with commentary on the allusions and metaphors. Ready files are free for students; writing a new section needs a library membership (monthly, or annual at 50% off for students), and every file, once made, stays free for future use.
