Abstract
Librarians are a poorly paid occupational group in Poland. Even though most librarians have
higher education, their chances for satisfying wages are very small. Under such circumstances
librarians are forced to look for additional income sources. This article presents the results of
a survey on additional income sources of librarians. The survey was conducted in the end of 2011.
The results' analysis is preceded by a short description of the situation on the Polish labor market.
