 Curator is charged as 30,000 books are 'lost' by French national library
By John Lichfield in Paris Published: 28 June 2005

More than 30,000 books, including 1,000 rare and priceless items, are
believed to have been stolen from the French national library in Paris.

So chaotic are the library's cataloguing and security systems it is
impossible to know when books were stolen. Some may have been "lost" in an
institution that houses 35 million objects. But a year-long investigation by
the president of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) found the
library had been systematically pillaged over many years
