WI Mongols did not bburn to the ground the library of Baghdad

So here is my question wi Hulegu does not burn down the library and instead decides to use its knowledge for the mongols. What happens now. Baghdad is sacked like usual but in a moment of kindness Hulegu orders the mongols to only kill the male populace and opposition in baghdad and spare the women, children, and the library. Instead he wants all the literature and knowledge in the library be read and understood by the scholars. What happens now that the library is in the hands of Mongols and they have access to all its works. What do the mongol khans do with the knowledge and what changes does this create for the mongol empire now that the knowledge of the library is spread across the vast empire..

This seems very out of character for the Mongols. They would take practical skills into the fold, but written works seem a bit beyond that.
 
The Mongols had the entire knowledge base of the Song dynasty at their disposal already. I doubt owning the Baghdad trove would make much of a difference to them. Their empire will still be based on the subjection of non-nomadic peoples and there's no reason to think anything they find there will change that.

Of course, it will be an invaluable book to future generations, but to Hulagu, it's just that much more stuff he owns. Science isn't something you own, it's something you do, and even if the Khan orders scholars to work on the books for him, there isn't anything of immediate value to the running of his political affairs in there. Without any immediate tangible benefit, the scholoarly community just remains to quietly continue producing long-term progress, but by that time, the Mongols will be long gone.
 
The fall of Baghdad basically ended Arabic philosophy and cemented the transfer of the Muslim world to the ulama and Sufis. So saving the libraries of Baghdad might leave it less dead, which could lead to enormous changes in the history of the Muslim world a few centuries later.
 
Maybe the Arabic World remain center of leaning and stronger to challenge the europeans as they come out their dark age.
