To mark World Book Day next year, West Sussex Library Service is tracking down the county’s favourite read from the last decade.
Nominations for the ‘West Sussex Favourite Read’ may be for any book published in the United Kingdom since January 1, 2000.
The closing date for nominations is Saturday November 14, when the nominees will be shortlisted and announced in January for the final vote.
The overall winner will be announced on World Book Day on March 4, 2010.
“World Book Day is the biggest annual celebration of books and reading in the UK and Ireland and West Sussex Libraries always like to mark the occasion,” said Brad Watson OBE, County Council Cabinet Member for Communications, with responsibility for Libraries.
“In our modern society, book reading can be seen as an old habit, so this an excellent idea to get people back to the wonderful world of reading.
“To remind yourself of your favourite books over the last ten years, call in at your local Library where you will find a huge range to choose from.”
