Authenticity/Value: Many studies have been conducted regarding the factors affecting the income of the public library of the country, and research that examines the studies in the form of a systematic review is empty, and the present study tries to fill the existing gap. This research provides a valuable framework for diversifying financial resources and entrepreneurship in Iran's public library and not only contributes to the scientific understanding of entrepreneurship in the field of public libraries but also provides new practical insights to improve the income of Iran's public libraries. Also, the presented classification and prioritization provide a valuable framework for the development of public libraries.
