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.

While Ljubljana holds the title of the World Book Capital (from April 2010 to April 2011), the Slovenian Book Agency co-finances a publishing congress, a literary festival, and special price 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) are 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.

Activities

The agency provides funds for projects in the field of literature; promotes Slovene literature and authors; encourages publication of quality literary and scientific works; provides stipends and other means of support for authors; promotes international cooperation in the field of literature (especially translations of Slovene books and international promotion thereof); ensures that authors get compensation for library loans of their books; supports a development of a bookshop network and increasing the availability of books; provides conditions for a development of reading culture.

Since 2009 Slovenian Book Agency has been involved in the regional network Traduki, encouraging translations "from, to and within Southeast Europe".
