Publishing programme
The book programme encompasses a variety of genres: from fiction to sophisticated manuals and encyclopedias. It has traditionally been focused on publishing original children's picture books, which are also enriched with illustrations by Slovenian authors, as well as original fiction for young people and adults. Very early on, Mladinska knjiga began publishing local and world adult literature. Evidence of this is the oldest book collections Kondor, Lirika, Nova slovenska knjiga (New Slovenian Book), which are still successful and popular among readers today. Among the greatest hits by the number of titles sold are popular scientific works by Slovenian authors.
Collections
The Kondor collection of prose works, referred to as a Slovenian Penguin Classics, was launched six decades ago in 1956 and has reached around 350 titles. Also still popular is the collection Nova slovenska knjiga that was launched in 1971. The collection Lirika, established in 1970, today includes over 150 titles of world poetry translations.
Magazines
Mladinska knjiga is also the main publisher of magazines for children (Cicido, Ciciban, Moj planet, PIL) and secondary school students (PILplus), and general readers (GEA). In 2004, it started a partnership with Reader's Digest Inc. and began publishing the Slovenian version of Reader's Digest magazine.
Awards
Mladinska knjiga has established 2 national awards: since 1949 it has bestowed the Levstik Award for original literature and original illustrations for children and young people; and since 2012, the Blue Bird Award for the best unpublished Slovenian book work. In 2002, Mladinska knjiga Publishing House received the golden honorary badge of freedom of the Republic of Slovenia for its publishing of the Encyclopedia of Slovenia series.
Public outreach
Since 1968, Mladinska knjiga runs the educational project Vesela šola ("Merry School") linked to the Pionirski list (later called PIL or PILplus) magazine for upper-level primary school pupils and secondary school students.
The Mladinska knjiga book club, called Svet knjige ("World of the Book") was established in 1974 and has more than 100,000 members. Later, they established bookclub Ciciklub aimed at the youngest readers.
Sunflower Gallery
Since 2008, Mladinska knjiga runs also the Sunflower Gallery that presents mostly book illustrations by the authors working with and for the Mladinska knjiga Publishing House and those who are publishing their work in the abovementioned children's magazines.
