As a Sheffield Libraries member, you have free access to a wealth of facilities to help you connect with culture, creativity, knowledge, and each other. Becoming a member is FREE.
1. Stock up on holiday reading
In these uncertain times, let us help you escape into a good book, or make sense of the world through reading. You can borrow up to 15 printed books and five eBooks, free of charge for a minimum of three weeks. From the latest bestseller to all the old classics.
Download the library app and search the catalogue.
2. Keep the kids entertained during long car journeys
The hugely popular eLibrary was discovered by thousands of new members during the recent national lockdowns. Enjoy access to thousands of free audiobooks, eBooks, eComics, and eMagazines, either on your desktop or through our Libby app.
3. Try our school holiday activities
We’ve got lots going on to keep the kids entertained. Sign them up for Gadgeteers, the Summer Reading challenge 2022, and check out our programme of family activities taking place across libraries.
4. Research your family history
We subscribe to a range of online reference tools on your behalf, meaning you can access high quality content and save money. Visit the Local Studies Library for help researching your family tree, and use Ancestry UK without subscription at all our libraries.
5. Check out a board game
Pass those long summer evenings with friends by trying one of modern board games. Board gaming is a fun way to sharpen your thinking, and spend quality time with your family and friends away from a screen. You can now borrow board games from Sheffield Central Library, just like a book.
6. Explore Sheffield through time and space
Visit Storytrails at Sheffield Central Library on the 27th and 28th July to discover a range of exciting augmented and virtual reality experiences for all the family to enjoy. Explore untold stories through a virtual map made up of 3D models and audio recordings of local community members.
7. Start a reading group with friends
Whether it’s drink in the garden, or 30 minutes grabbed in the staff canteen; try our free reading group sets service and share your love of reading with others.
8. Experience foreign food without leaving home
Our libraries stock a massive range of cookbooks covering diverse world cuisine, as well as all the most popular celebrity chefs and bakers. Let us help you spice up mealtimes.
9. Discover Graphic Novels
We have an extensive collection of graphic novels at Central Library and online in the eLibrary, from popular superheroes to powerful and thought-provoking works of art. Much of the collection is aimed at adults, so if you’ve never tried a graphic novel before, why not give them a try. You might be surprised.
10. Take the first step in starting your business
We support entrepreneurs, inventors, and small businesses from that first spark of inspiration to launching and developing a business. Visit our Business and intellectual Property Centre webpages and discover more…
