  • a range of services and materials that are appropriate and reflect the diversity of local communities within Derbyshire
  • access to static libraries and mobile libraries during the advertised hours of opening
  • services delivered to you at home if you're unable to visit a library on either a temporary or a permanent basis, particularly if you're elderly, have a disability or are sick
  • a high quality service that is maintained through regular monitoring
  • an acknowledgement or reply to all comments, letters and emails within 3 working days. You will receive a full reply within 10 working days unless the reply requires research when we'll send a full reply within 20 working days
