We're just a couple of weeks away from this year's Wainwright Prize winners being announced!

It's a time that Library Assistant Alys looks forward to every year as she's set herself the goal of reading every book longlisted for the prize since it was launched 12 years ago (she's only 14% of the way through so far!)

If you love nature, or reading about conservation and the environment, we invite you to explore our display of longlisted and shortlisted books from this year's prize. You can also grab yourself a bookmark and make a pledge for nature - share it on social media with to be in with the chance of winning some fabulous prizes.
