The party and state administration, not only in Czerwieńsk but also in other regions of the country, responsible for the development of libraries and the improvement of their working conditions, similarly as in recent years, neglected these issues, focusing on the implementation of educational projects as part of the Thousand Schools for the Millennium of the Polish State. In the cultural policy of the National Housing Estate Council, almost until the end of the period of interest to us, there was no will to remove any shortcomings related to the activity of the library, which was harmful not only to its employees but also to the local community. This approach was possible to continue because this issue was not burdened with the risk of troublesome interference of people representing the highest authorities of the Polish United Workers’ Party. As a result of the „renaissance” of competition in the 1960s, which involved not only libraries but also the committees of national councils (which had the power to make decisions concerning libraries) libraries were established, among others, in the province of Zielona Góra, for example in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, which was in 1967. Paradoxically, this initiative turned out to be beneficial for the cultural institution in Czerwieńsk, which existed in 1957-1968, because the main task of this undertaking, apart from the obvious pro-Soviet political context, was to modernise libraries. Thirty-six thousand zł were allocated for this purpose. As a result, the housing condition of the library under study significantly improved, not to mention an enlargement of the library premises to 82.8 m².
