The introductory part shows the cultural development of the country. Further considerations considered circumstances of establishment of the national library and the first legal regulations. The biggest difficulty was finding a suitable building for the library. Its regular work was stopped by the World War II. A few headmasters merited for the development of significant scientific and cultural institutions of Bulgaria. The following are presented in detail in the text: Konstantin Ireczek,Penczo Slawejkow, Nikola Michow, and Stilian Czilingirow.
