Company history
Picture, children's and youth books" by the Internationale Jugendbibliothek. Beginning in 2016 it has been publishing board games.
It was founded by Związek Nauczycielstwa Polskiego (English, "Polish Teachers' Union") in 1921 as a joint stock company. In 1938 the company published the first translation (by Irena Tuwim) of A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh into Polish. Among the company's other Polish language editions of children's books over the years have been Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking and Tove Jansson's Moomins. During World War II, Nasza Księgarnia continued to release new books, only changing its forms, adapting them to the conditions of underground work. In 1945 the company was transformed into a cooperative and in 1954 it became a state-owned enterprise, initially with the name Państwowe Wydawnictwo Literatury Dziecięcej Nasza Księgarnia ("Nasz Księgarnia" State Publishing House of Children's Literature) and then, in 1960, following a decision by Ministry of Culture and Art, with the name Instytut Wydawniczy Nasza Księgarnia ("Nasza Księgarnia" Publishing Institute). During the political and economic changes in Poland during the early 1990s the state-owned enterprise was transformed into a limited liability company. In a referendum in 1991, the staff of the publishing house decided to privatize and in 1992 the company started its activity under the new name of the Wydawnictwo "Nasza Księgarnia" ("Nasza Księgarnia" Publishing House). The company continues to publish children's and educational books. In 2016 it entered the board game market, publishing party and family games as well as games for children.
