COVID-19 libraries update - Aug 2021

Derby Libraries are pleased to be able to welcome customers back into libraries. Our staff will continue to wear face coverings and we would encourage our customers to do wear face coverings if they are able, to help protect others. Customers will be asked to check in for NHS Test and Trace purposes on arrival, and maintain social distancing. 

Library events and activities are resuming from September. Spaces are limited so booking is essential. Please book in the library, or phone to book your place.

Derby Local Studies and Family History Library is offering pre-bookable appointments for either PC/microfilm use or to look at paper documents. 

For full details on current services, please visit our COVID-19 Libraries news page.

Derby has 14 libraries and a Local Studies and Family History Library.

There is also a Home Library Service for people who can’t get to the library or have difficulty carrying books.
