Programme
Until April 2011 Ljubljana Urban Municipality will work on the Ljubljana Resolution on the Book, proposing to UNESCO the improved measures for the public funding of books.
Through the Book and the City events the citizens of Ljubljana will be encouraged to change their habits and read more (reading corners, public readings ...). Some of the capital's most ambitious publishing projects are dedicated to the works of Boris Pahor, Svetlana Makarovič and Slavoj Žižek, one of the best and most notorious yet perhaps not widely read or understood Slovene authors.
Publishing projects
Several publishing projects accompany the presidency in order to encourage the citizens to buy and read books as well as to enhance the role of culture in their everyday lives. In the frame of the Ljubljana Reads project every pupil will receive a book by a Slovene author as a gift and 21 selected titles with a print run of 8,000 copies, available for purchase for as little as 3 Euro per copy, are to be published within the Books for Everyone project.
Pogledi ("Views") Newspaper
The World Book Capital in Ljubljana will be accompanied by a newly established bimonthly cultural newspaper published by Delo Publishing House. It is the leading (and, in fact, the only) printed media in Slovenia dedicated to the arts and culture. Its planned print run is 60,000, to be distributed as a free supplement to the main Slovene daily Delo Newspaper till Autumn. In the future Pogledi are expected to become a sustainable cultural newspaper.
Trubar House of Literature
Within the capital framework a new venue is due to open in Spring 2010 in the very centre of the city. It will serve as a cultural and intellectual centre with a book club, exhibiting space and information point.
