Welsh Books Council
The Welsh Books Council or Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru was established in 1961. Today it is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government. The council's aims are to promote the interests of Welsh language books and English language books of interest to Wales, to promote the publishing industry, and to assist and support authors by offering a number of services and distributing grants. It offers design and editorial services for publishers, distributes grants for authors and publishers, and provides services for libraries.[citation needed]
The Council’s headquarters are in the former St Mary's College building in Castell Brychan, Aberystwyth; and it also has a distribution centre on the outskirts of the town at Glanyrafon Enterprise Park. It employs 49 permanent staff between both locations. The distribution centre has an annual turnover of around £5 million (net).[citation needed]
