As one of the UK’s top comedians, and co - host of Radio 4’s Award winning Infinite Monkey Cage, Robin has embarked on a lifelong mission to help us all be more interested in the world around us.
He has written many books including Robin Ince’s Bad Book Club, The Importance of Being Interested and his recently published book Bibliomaniac, charting his adventures touring one hundred independent bookshops across the UK in a year.
Now Robin is coming to Sheffield’s iconic Central Library for two special events raising money to make Steel City Readers, a ground-breaking book by local author, Mary Grover, free to download through an Open Access Licence. Based on interviews with 65 Sheffielders, Steel City Readers celebrates the city’s reading and library heritage. Lots has been written about Sheffield’s industrial past, but its literary heritage is less well known.
This is a unique opportunity to see and hear Robin up close in the intimate, book-lined setting of the Carpenter Room in Sheffield Central Library - and in doing so raise money for a compelling cause.
Reading Sheffield, the community history group founded by Mary Grover, is campaigning to raise £12,500 to make ‘Steel City Readers' free to download through an Open Access Licence.
