Local author event - "Flight From Prague" by Michael Lewis
Wednesday, November 26 at 19:00
This is a free event - donations to the library are welcome. Refreshments will be available.
Czechoslovakia, 1938. As German soldiers cross the border, Jewish businessman Harry Lewy flees for his life. Danger and uncertainty follow him across Europe and through Nazi Germany until he finds refuge in Belfast. There, after the war, he reunites with and marries his childhood sweetheart, dancer and Holocaust survivor Helen Lewis (née Helena Katz).
In his book, Flight from Prague: The Making of a Refugee, their son Michael Lewis tells Harry’s story, drawing on memories, interviews, family documents and archival research.
Michael Lewis was born in Belfast in 1949. A former teacher and headteacher, he has worked in education and public service for over 35 years. He lives in Sheffield with his wife Petra.

Announcing a Directory of Community Resources
Broomhill Community Trust has compiled a Sheffield area online Directory of Community Resources. It provides links to local organisations that offer guidance and help on a wide range of topics. We hope you find it useful!
Thanks to Sheffield City Council, Citizens Advice Services, NHS, and many other dedicated organisations for providing excellent online resources for advice on health, housing, energy, finances, wellbeing, and more.
Looking for a card that’s a little more special?
We’re delighted to showcase a beautiful selection of artist-designed cards created by members of the Hallam Art Group. Each card is available for purchase, and 20% of all proceeds go directly toward supporting the library.
Our first display features the work of two talented artists, with more to be added in the coming weeks — so there’s always something new to discover!
The Hallam Art Group, established over 50 years ago, is well known for nurturing local artistic talent. With nearly 70 members, the group meets weekly to paint, learn new techniques, and share creative inspiration. They hold exhibitions twice a year, at Hallam Community Hall and the Sheffield Botanical Gardens, celebrating the rich artistic spirit of our community. Their next exhibition will be held at the Hallam Community Youth Association Hall on November 15th and 16th.
You can view the online gallery of artists' work here.
Come by, pick up a card, and support both local artists and your library!
