Salaries at Bulgarian National Library are minimal: National Audit Office report

Photo: BGNES

Salaries at the SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library stand at around the minimum for the country. At the same time the average number of the library units administered by one employee is higher than at the Library of Congress in USA, for example, indicates a report by the National Audit Office after conducting an audit.

In 2016 the library fund administered by one employee stood at 39,000 library units. At the end of 2015 it comprised over 8 million library units with only 11 percent of them included in the electronic system. The main conclusion reached by the auditors is that the administrations of the Ministry of Culture and the National Library have failed to create adequate conditions for the preservation of this cultural legacy, Dnevnik writes.
