The search is on for the town's favourite book.

From today until Saturday readers can vote for their favourite literary gem from the BBC's Big Read shortlist.

Libraries will be displaying a poster listing the top 21 novels, which include George Orwell's 1984, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

All readers have to do is put a tick next to their personal favourite.

Libraries have also produced a quiz to test readers' knowledge of the shortlisted titles.
