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.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about accessibility and we'll be very happy to help.

Service alterations and disruptions

We regret that the South mobile library service is not operating at the moment, however 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.

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

There will be no 'week 2' service on the North mobile library on week commencing 22 September 2025, and week commencing 17 November 2025. There will also be no 'week 3' service between 24 and 27 November 2025.
