Comic Fest is coming to Sheffield Libraries!

Get ready for two days of comics, creativity and great stories at Comic Fest Sheffield Libraries. Whether you're already a comic fan or keen to find out more, there's something for everyone. Enjoy author talks, illustrator workshops and fun activities for all ages.

Comics are a great way to tell stories. They combine words and pictures to bring ideas to life and spark the imagination. From superheroes and fantasy adventures to true stories and funny tales, comics can help people discover a love of reading.

You can explore our collection of graphic novels and comics, find new favourites, and discover your next great read to borrow from the library.
