Libri-Bookline Zrt. is one of the most important cultural companies in the Central European region.
As one of the most significant cultural companies in the Central European region and a key player in the book industry, Libri-Bookline Ltd. has decades of professional experience in bringing the books of the best writers and poets to readers.
The Libri brand with its nationwide network of nearly 60 stores, an online store serving hundreds of thousands of users, campaigns promoting reading, and the Libri Literary Awards, which recognise the most successful authors on the Hungarian book market with prestigious awards, is the number one choice for domestic book lovers.
With its youthful, trend-setting image focused on the love of reading and books, Bookline offers readers the largest online bookstore in the country.
The Libri Group also has extensive publishing interests. It is the sole owner of the Libri Publishing Group (Libri Publishing, Park Publishing, Helikon Publishing, Jelenkor Publishing, Kolibri Publishing, Diafilmgyártó), and in 2015 it acquired shares in the Jaffa and Scolar publishing houses. In 2021, the portfolio expanded with the addition of Good Life Books Publishing, in 2023 with Hitel Publishing, and in 2025 with Édesvíz Publishing.
Through Libri’s year-round reading promotion programs, thousands of readers have been brought closer to the company’s creation of cultural and social value. In recent years, the company has provided thousands of books to social organisations, foundations, schools, kindergartens, hospitals and libraries both within and beyond Hungary’s borders.
The group aims to reinforce its social responsibility by providing greater support to Hungarian authors, creating market-focused scholarships, and launching training courses that fill gaps in the market, thereby contributing to the development of the domestic book industry and the preservation of Hungarian cultural values. As part of this, it renewed its social initiatives in 2024 and launched a comprehensive talent development and grant program called Libri Talent.
Libri is committed to nurturing and promoting written culture, representing Hungarian and world literature on a broad scale, and catering to readers with a wide portfolio.
