In recent years, it has opened new branches in Baku, including its largest store on Huseyn Javid Avenue, covering about 400 square meters. The store offers books in multiple languages and hosts exhibitions and book presentations. The company also invests in unique publications, such as collections of Ottoman archival documents and the journal Yeni Kafkasiya, originally published by Mammad Amin Rasulzade between 1923 and 1927. Libraff is also developing the “coffeeshop in bookshop” concept by opening cafés in select stores to create a comfortable space for reading and relaxing.

Libraff actively takes part in social projects, supporting education, culture, and child development in Azerbaijan. Here are some of the company’s initiatives:
Supporting Children's Creativity
In 2022, Libraff partnered with McDonald’s Azerbaijan on the “Young Writer” project. Children from Ganja wrote fairy tales that were later published in a special collection. These books are available to read for free in Libraff stores in Ganja and Baku, right in the in-store cafés.Educational Events for Schoolchildren
Libraff collaborates with the European Azerbaijan School to host events for students. In 2023, they organized a workshop called “Think Well, Eat Well,” where kids learned to make healthy food using recipes from the book Üç Alma. They also celebrated the 80th anniversary of The Little Prince with performances and creative activities.Support During the Pandemic
During the COVID lockdown, Libraff sent out over 500 books to students and donated books to children from low-income families. The company also provided book delivery across Baku so people could keep reading at home. These actions show that Libraff is committed not just to business growth but also to helping the community—especially young readers. -
