Reading, Book Clubs & Storytime in Sheffield

If you're after storytime or a book club for the kids, there isn't a huge choice in the city yet, but what's here is worth knowing about. Hillsborough Bookshop, about 3 km from the centre, runs free storytime sessions and author events for children, and there's a shelf of children's books they can browse without anyone rushing them to decide. It's free, which makes it easy to try without worrying if the kids fancy something else that day. There's no age range given, so it suits a broad mix, from toddlers who just want to look at pictures to older children ready for a proper story. Being a bookshop rather than a library or hall, it has a calmer, more indoor feel, good for a quiet weekday morning rather than a big outing.
