BOOKS can change lives and people in Warminster and Bradford on Avon are being asked to nominate those that have had a lasting influence on them.

The towns' libraries are inviting readers to nominate works, including poetry, that have had a major impact on them, or changed their views or simply provided the best read ever.

Nominations, from adults and children, can be accepted until the end of this month and library staff will then use the information to create a display of the titles during April.

Warminster librarian Richard Violet said: "It is all about sharing your enthusiasms with others and it should provide a most interesting display."
