The Sheffield City Council-run Libraries (Central Library, Chapeltown, Crystal Peaks, Darnall, Ecclesall, Firth Park, Hillsborough, Highfield, Manor, Parson Cross, Stocksbridge and Woodseats) offer a core activity programme. This consists of the same activities run in each library and reflects our aims as a library service and the outcomes of the Sheffield City Council Plan. Our activities are detailed below.

For Adults

Reading Groups. Every library has a reading group where members of the community meet and talk about a chosen book.

Past Times. A session for people to socialise and reminisce. Sessions are themed around a certain topic.

Digital Support. A drop-in session for basic digital advice.

Library Social. A coffee morning where the community can meet and chat.

For Children

Babytime. A group for babies and their families to play, read and sing.

Storytime. A session for pre-school children to listen to stories and take part in a related activity.

Chatterbooks. A reading group for 7–11 year olds.
