READERS in Cumbria will have the chance to debate a national book award for women's writing.

Reading groups at Carlisle, Grange-over-Sands and Gosforth libraries are preparing reviews of the six books shortlisted for this year's Orange Prize for Fiction. Other visitors to Cumbria's libraries will also be able to enter reviews and could win a mobile phone and copies of all the shortlisted books.

Selected reviews will be posted on the Orange Prize website at www.orangeprize.co.uk.
