POST FROM BOOKS COUNCIL OF WALES We are sending over 49,000 free books to schools across the country this term, as part of the Rhyngom scheme funded by Welsh Government and Adnodd. Rhyngom is a three-year, £810,000 project to publish more reading books for pleasure that celebrate and promote diversity, for children and young people. Since it started in 2022, the project has supported the creation of brand-new original books in both Welsh and English, as well as the adaptation of English-language books into Welsh, to create books that reflect more of our stories, people and communities.
