One of Gloucestershire's libraries has been shortlisted for an award.

The David Vaisey Prize is awarded to libraries for schemes which encourage more people to read.

Bishop's Cleeve library managed to get 4000 children in Gloucestershire reading as part of their summer reading challenge. They also rolled out a scheme providing reading packs - full of literary resources and books - for vulnerable children in the county.

The David Vaisey Prize ceremony takes place today - with the winner awarded £5,000 and £1,000 to the runners up.
