 * Per a UNESCO publication, Made to Measure: Children's Books in Developing Countries (1980), p. 89, "Under the leadership of Lily Amir - Arjomand, the Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Young People built and operated a system of some 300 libraries, reading centres and mobile units throughout Iran."; and from "Comparative & International Library Science" (Scarecrow Press, 1977) at p. 106 "As she developed the children's libraries and cultural centers run by her Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults, Lily Amir - Arjomand was most strongly influenced by her Rutgers library science work under Mary Gaver." In International Handbook of Contemporary Developments in Librarianship (Greenwood Press, 1981), "The children's public system lost Lily Amir - Arjomand, who was the founder of the system" is noted at p. 136.

 * Keep per the sources that have come to light over the course of this AfD, particularly from Beccanyr. The article may not be that great, but it could be improved very well from what we have here. jp×g 05:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
