Abstract
The Croatian Centre for Children’s Books at the
Zagreb City Library is a unique institution in
Croatia that systematically looks after an important
segment in the Þ eld of literature - children’s
books. Within a special collection, the so-called
Protected Holdings of Children’s Books, works
from the Croatian literary history and contemporary
works from all segments of literature, illustrations
and book design, as well as scholarly and
theoretical and critical literature are gathered.
Apart from this, through membership in the International
Board on books for Young People, the
Croatian Centre acts as the Croatian branch of
IBBY and promotes Croatian books and authors
by putting forward their names as candidates for
international awards and prizes.
