We care about the development of literary culture in Poland

The Book Institute is a state cultural institution. We were established by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage to promote Polish literature abroad and popularise books and reading domestically.

We inform, encourage and convince translators of Polish literature to translate Polish books, foreign publishers to publish their translations, organisers of a whole spectrum of events around the world to invite Polish authors abroad. And when they say they are ready and willing, we help them move forward.

Through the financial support we provide with the ©Poland Translation Programme, over 3,500 translations of Polish books have appeared abroad in years past!

For over a decade, we have been administrating grant programmes of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage in literature, while since April 2010 we have been the publisher of some of the oldest and most recognised Polish culture periodicals.
