Libraries

Everyone can use Derbyshire Libraries by visiting one of our 46 branches, 12 mobile libraries or by accessing our online services.

Does this sound familiar?
You’ve read the book and now want to watch the film.

You’ve missed several episodes of your favourite TV series and want to catch up before the next season begins.

What do you do? You go to your local library of course!

We have thousands of titles available, from popular films and TV series to music CDs. You can request any DVD or CD (with the exception of new film releases), which are in stock in our Derbyshire libraries, free of charge and we’ll deliver your selection to the library of your choice.

All you need to do is search our catalogue and place your request online. Or you can visit your local library and ask them to request your items for you.

Hire charges still apply but concessions are available if you have a Gold Card or B_line card.
