The Slovenian Book Agency is a public agency that was established in 2008 to engage the area of literature in a coordinated and uniform way. Its primary concerns are to facilitate better availability of books, to promote Slovene authors internationally, to financially support literary events, projects concerned with reading culture, publications of quality books and translations, and to regulate the process from the production to publication to distribution of literature.
JAK (Slovenian abbreviation for Slovenian Book Agency) is located in the house called Vratarnica (Gatekeeper's house) in the Metelkova Quarter of Ljubljana, in the vicinity of the Ministry of Culture.

The Tomaž Šalamun Poetry Centre is simultaneously a library, memorial room, study facility and multipurpose event space dedicated to poetry and literature. It was established in 2016, 2 years after the departure of possibly the most influential contemporary Slovene poet, Tomaž Šalamun (1941–2014). The poetry centre contains his entire book collection, donated posthumously by his wife.
Stationed at the premises of the Public Fund for Cultural Activities in the centre of Ljubljana, the centre itself was designed by Dekleva Gregorič Arhitekti.
