Community Managed Libraries

Community Managed Libraries

Ten Derby libraries are community managed. Direct Help and Advice (DHA) will be responsible for running the ten libraries in partnership with Community Action Derby and Citizens Advice South Derbyshire and City.

You can expect the same service you’re used to, such as book loans and access to computers, but the local charity will also provide vital services right in the hub of your community. This includes legal advice on housing as well as support on benefits and managing debt.
