Mickleover Library

In response to the Government’s latest guidance concerning the COVID-19 virus, and in the best interests of our visitors and staff, Derby Libraries will be closing their doors temporarily after business hours on Saturday 21 March. This will be for at least four weeks.

All items are being issued with a return date in June. Items already out on loan have already had their return date extended, although customers may not be aware of this. Members can continue to renew their loans online.

It is a difficult time for all of us, but we would urge library members to make use of our electronic services while they are unable to visit us in person.

Please keep checking our news page for more information.
