The idea of opening a library was initiated by Keykhosrow Bozorgchami, and in 1385 (2006) he opened it in the name of his wife, Banoo, on the second floor of Bozorgchami Hall. After the reconstruction and improvement of the hall in the collection donated by ravanshad Kadakhoda, this library was transferred to the Verahram fire temple in Yazd.
