Mobile Library Routes 31 March 2025 to 20 June 2025

The library service have requested the Parish Council to display the following information for the Mobile library service.

“On the North mobile the service scheduled for Good Friday 18 April will take place on Monday 7 April, and the service scheduled for the Spring Bank Holiday on 26 May will take place on Monday 19 May.

On the South mobile there will no service on Good Friday 18 April and the service scheduled for the Spring Bank Holiday on 26 May will take place on Monday 2 June.

Derbyshire County Council approved a new Library Strategy on 9 January 2025, which includes replacing the existing vehicles with smaller, more agile vehicles.  We hope that when this happens it will improve the reliability of the service. We will let you know when the new vehicles are due to come into service.

We will also be reviewing current stops and keeping the usage of stops under regular review moving forward to make sure they meet the needs of local communities.  Please contact the library service via library.communityengagement@derbyshire.gov.uk if you believe stops in your area need to be considered for amending, adding or removing. Any suggestions received will be recorded and considered as part of our review.”
