18 Tir (June–July), National Children's and Young Adult Literature Day, is an important symbol for recalling the importance of children's and young adult literature. In this vein, the Namafar Center has assessed the standing and actual status of children's and young adult literature in Iran.
An examination of the total print run of published books by subject category shows that after the "social sciences" subject, with 8,373,019 books, the children and young adult subject, with 5,985,227 books, has the highest number of books published in the country.
The data attest that the high number of titles and print runs of published children's and young adult books, the prominent share of children's and young adult books in the country's public libraries, the high number of digital children's and young adult books, and so on, indicate the good state of "children's and young adult books and literature" in Iran.
