Since 2001 UNESCO has been nominating cities to be the annual World Book Capital City and the city of Ljubljana was already the tenth. World Book Capital Ljubljana 2010 was launched on 23 April 2010 with a spectacle (an encounter of science, art and philosophy through the book) at Križanke, directed by Matjaž Berger. Throughout the year, 500 events transformed the Slovene capital into a lively and cosmopolitan city.

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.
