Additional funds of BGN 1 940 000 for the UNWE Library were approved at a meeting of the Council of Ministers on 21 December 2022. The additional transfer is through the budget of the Ministry of Education and Science and it is for a major renovation and for the implementation of modern technologies for cleaning and storage of book items as well as for better and modern service to users.

"For us it is extremely valuable and timely support. We are glad that during its pre-Christmas meeting the Government paid special attention to the needs of UNWE. The University Library keeps extremely valuable archives and it is in urgent need of a major renovation of the storerooms which are below 'O' level and permanently damp. It is also necessary to improve the conditions, to provide modern services for all students and lecturers, to build corners for social communication", said the Rector of UNWE Prof. Dr. Dimitar Dimitrov.

The UNWE Library is located in facilitiues that have not been renovated for years. The books are arranged on outdated shelves and do not meet modern requirements for functionality. Counter space is small and therefore dysfunctional. There is also no suitable space to held group classes, book premiers, exhibitions and other cultural events.

Everyone hopes that the subsidy will help the UNWE Library to become a cultural center meeting the modern requirements, a place for communication and development of scientific activity, to turn into a base for the development of research not only through rich library collections but also by providing remote access to global scientific and information databases.
