Happy Ending: George the Cat Triumphs Over Library Director, Secures Home in Plovdiv Public Library

A heartwarming conclusion for George, the beloved feline resident of the "Ivan Vazov" Public Library in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Despite residing in the library for over a year, George faced eviction as library management sought to appease readers who were less fond of his presence.

However, the decision sparked outrage among many supporters who rallied to George's defense. Their voices were heard, and the outcome is clear: George will remain under the care of the dedicated library staff.

The backlash against the management's stance was significant, with thousands signing petitions and even calling for the director's dismissal. Responding to the public outcry, the Board of Directors at the "Ivan Vazov" National Library – Plovdiv, was compelled to reassess its position, ultimately issuing an official statement:

"Board of Directors feels obliged to note the non-compliance with ethical standards admitted in some public comments on the subject. The council calls on citizens to refrain from arbitrary generalizations and offensive qualifications, completely unacceptable in public conversation. We call for keeping a good tone in the dialogue with the National Library".

George's victory underscores the power of community advocacy and serves as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals. In the heart of Plovdiv, George's presence will continue to enrich the library experience for patrons and staff alike.
