The Slovenian Book Agency is a public agency, established in 2008, whose aim is to handle literature in a coordinated and uniform way. It combines concern for artistic and scientific literature (including digital media) and regulates the path from author to publication and distribution of a book.

When Ljubljana has the title of World Book Capital (from April 2010 to April 2011), the Slovenian Book Agency will co-finance a publishing congress, a literary festival, and special prize editions of quality books.

The agency (in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Sport and the Union of Slovene Public Libraries) is also involved in the project Rastem s knjigo ("Growing with a book"), which promotes reading among children and provides a free book for every 7th grade pupil.


The agency's activities include:

  • providing funding for projects in the field of literature,
  • promoting Slovene literature and authors,
  • encouraging publication of quality literary and scientific works,
  • providing stipends and other means of support for authors,
  • promoting international cooperation in the field of literature (especially translations of Slovene books and international promotion thereof),
  • ensuring that authors get compensation for library loans of their books,
  • supporting a development of a bookshop network and increasing the availability of books,
  • providing conditions for a development of reading culture.
