What is YOUR favourite book?

People across Leicester will be thinking about their favourite books as part of the city’s celebrations for the National Year of Reading 2008. This month, Leicester Libraries launches its search for Leicester’s favourite book. It doesn’t matter whether you are an avid reader or just flick through the occasional paperback, the survey offers you the opportunity to to suggest your favourite book.

Any work of fiction, including novels, short stories and poems are eligible for nominations. Every member of library staff will also be suggesting their own top reads and these will be combined together with ideas from the public and decades of library lending records to produce a shortlist of Leicester’s favourite books. People will be able to vote on the shortlist from April, and the winning book will be announced in July.
