Out of the nearly 200 applicants, National Széchényi Library was the only library winning an award in the category of budgetary institutions, which entitles NSZL to use the title “Family-Friendly Workplace”.
The outstandingly high support of the project dubbed “Promoting a Family-friendly Workplace in NSZL” makes it possible for the Hungarian national library to organize e- bibliotherapeutic activities and to further develop summer camps for kids.
