It was founded in 1741 and another building consisting of 3 apartments were built for the Librarians who worked at the Library. The three librarians were to work 5 days a week, having tuesday and friday off. They were also tasked with being Imam and Muezzin during the prayers that were performed with other muslims, like friday prayers, Eid prayers, or just daily prayers with other muslims.[1]
The Library itself was overlooked by Ottoman Intelectuals and Emperor himself until 1869, when an inspection and restoration took place. According to official documents, there were 1.998 books in the Library in 1869, including many unique books that were handwritten and no copy of them were ever reproduced.[2]
