Mladinska knjiga was established in 1945. Today it has branches in 8 other countries: Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, and Italy. It offers extensive and varied coverage of poetry (the collection Lirika, established in 1970, includes around 100 titles of world poetry translations), prose and professional literature.

Every year Mladinska knjiga organises two smaller book fairs: Frankfurt after Frankfurt, a presentation of new books, and Bologna after Bologna, a fair for new children's books. It also bestows the Levstik Award for children's literature.
