Mobile libraries

There are 2 mobile libraries: one based at Buxton (North) and one based at Long Eaton (South). We serve about 150 communities across the county where there's no library building. These places are visited once every 4 weeks.

Disabled access

Our mobile libraries have lifts if you use a wheelchair, walking aids, or have mobility issues.

If you have any questions about accessibility, contact us and we'll be very happy to help.

Service alterations and disruptions

We're sorry that there'll be no service on the North mobile on the week commencing 25 May 2026, or on 10 to 16 June 2026 inclusive.

We're also sorry that the South mobile library service isn't operating at the moment. We're doing all we can to get it back on the road as soon as possible. If you're one of our South mobile users, we'll contact you as soon as we're up and running again. If you have any other queries about the service, contact Library Manager Ruth Sharpe, email ruth.sharpe@derbyshire.gov.uk.

In the meantime, if you're unable to visit a library, you can contact our Home Library Service. For a referral, email library.communityengagement@derbyshire.gov.uk.
