"Librarians are ignored, but people should understand that the library
should be powerful. Library has a mission to educate teachers and if
20 teachers are awarded, then 200 librarians should be awarded too,"
said David Sargsyan, the director of National Library to Panorama.am.
According to him the work of librarians is ignored, which
becomes obvious when looking at the salaries of teachers and
librarians. Talking about the librarians working in the National
Library, Mr. Sargsyan said that the average salary is 35-40 thousands.
"I guess, this is enough to say anything. I just can not force me to
speak about the librarians of the regional communities," he said.
Note that the National Library has organized a party devoted to the
Day of Librarians and the director of the Library D. Sargsyan awarded
the employees certificates and the best 10 librarians received 15
thousands drams.
