The Council has established links with UK-based distributors to ensure that books from Wales are available world-wide. To find out more about new and forthcoming titles or which books are currently in stock at the Distribution Centre visit www.gwales.com or shop.books.wales and www.gwales.com/libraries where it is possible to find information on all the books held in stock at the Distribution Centre.
The Corporate Department also administers the Outreach Scheme which supports booksellers interested in organising bookstalls at a variety of events held throughout Wales.
It also organises the Books Council’s presence at the Hay Festival, the Royal Welsh Show and the National Eisteddfod.
As part of its promotional work, the Department organises the Wales Book of the Month and the Welsh-language Book of the Month campaigns, along with regular advertising supplements and catalogues.
All the books listed on www.gwales.com are available through bookshops, or can be bought on-line.
