IBBY in Wales

The Books Council of Wales believes in the transformative power of reading. Books enrich our lives, our languages, and communities. We are here to ensure that Wales has a flourishing publishing industry and that the people living here can work in our sector or benefit from its creative endeavours which are made in Wales, for the people of Wales.

We support publishers, bookshops, and magazines, to tell the many stories of Wales and all its communities, in both Welsh and English. We promote reading for pleasure to encourage, inspire and share a love of reading for all.

Our vision is for a Wales where everyone can be a reader, and where everyone has access to books irrespective of their ability to afford them. We are a national charity, and our funding comes partly from Welsh Government through Creative Wales and partly from our distribution and wholesaling section at our Distribution Centre.
