Our Library was a special guest at the international conference held on the occasion of the St. St. Cyril and Methodius National library [2], Sofia celebrating its 140th anniversary. To mark the anniversary, the Bulgarian National Library organized a two-day conference in Sofia on the past and present of donations. At the same time, the development of books, from manuscripts and early prints up to the modern, three-dimensional display options, was presented at a new exhibition.
National Széchényi Library was represented by Péter Antalffy [3] at the conference where he delivered a lecture entitled Business unusual – repositioning a traditional institution in the global era. He drew attention to the challenges a national institution, founded by private donation and developing in the course of time with the support of a series of donations, has to face, so that it could create a new relationship with its audience and communities by new methods in our global world.
