A book giveaway for children and families has been announced by the National Literacy Trust.

It has teamed up with Swindon's Bus Company, and on Saturday 13 April members of the trust will be handing out free books.
A spokesperson said: "We’ll be boarding buses on route 17 between 10:30am and 2pm with brand new books for children to choose from and take home.
"Reading not only supports children’s vital communication skills, but importantly helps them relax, have fun and escape elsewhere.
"Thank you so much to Swindon’s Bus Company for helping us spread the joy of reading this spring.
"Be sure to look out for us this weekend to finish your Easter break with a book!"
Books will be distributed while stocks last.
