Summary/Abstract: Lviv, being a second publishing center after Warsaw, also has its share in the production of children and adolescents literature. During the interwar period there were publishing companies working in the city which willingly lead a publishing policy in this field. In general, there were 787 titles for young readers published in Lviv. The main investors of these books were Państwowe Wydawnictwo Książek Szkolnych, Atlas Library, the “Odrodzenie” Publishing Company, R. Wegner Polish Publishing, and the Ossolińscy National Publishing Company, who published 75% of the young reader’s books. The main goal of the article is to present the offer of Lviv’s investors in this area and to capture the nature of the Lviv publishing center.
