Mood Boosting Books

Welcome to your 24 hour library.

Everyone can use Derbyshire Libraries by visiting one of our 45 branches, 11 mobile libraries or by accessing our online services.


Reading is good for you

Evidence shows that reading will make you feel better. It improves mental well-being and reduces stress levels.

During February why not drop in to any library and pick up a 'mood-boosting' book?  For the Mood-Boosting Campaign (opens in a new window) eight reading groups around the country have selected a list of 27 titles that they have enjoyed and which have lifted their spirits.

Why not avoid the winter blues and join the "Feeling Good at the Hub" event at South Normanton Library? This free event is taking place over the weekend of Friday 24 February and Saturday 25 February 2012.

The two-day programme is full of fun activities for all ages and includes workshops in

  • Creative writing

  • Poetry and laughter

  • Aromatherapy

  • Indian head massage taster sessions

  • Stories, songs and crafts for younger children

  • The Book Doctor

  • Danny the listening dog!
