A bunch of the top bookshops in Sheffield are banding together this weekend for a huge book festival. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sheffield Independent Book Festival (or SIBFest) will be a weekend designed for book lovers, with author talks, signings, workshops, reading rooms and more. <\/p>\n

There’ll even be a bookshop crawl encouraging people to visit Sheffield’s many brilliant bookshops.<\/p>\n

Different bookshops will be hosting their own fringe events on the first day of the festival, before loads of local businesses come together at Kelham Island for a full day of book-themed events. <\/p>\n

SIBFest has been created by booksellers, for book lovers, with an aim to ‘celebrate stories, and the shops and publishers who keep them alive’.<\/p>\n

It’s been created by the people behind local businesses like Novel (which is temporarily closed because of an issue where staff have been being harassed by a member of the public); and La Biblioteka at Leah’s Yard.<\/p>\n

Hillsborough Bookshop, a neighbourhood children’s bookshop, and Juno Books, a queer independent bookshop, have also organised the event. <\/p>\n

It will all be taking place at bookshops across the city, plus at The Victoria and The Mowbray at Kelham Island.<\/p>\n
