Eastwood Library Christmas Market Cancellation

Due to the uncertainty around the reopening date, we have sadly decided to cancel Eastwood Library's Christmas market. We know Christmas is a busy time for all, but particularly stallholders, therefore we wanted to make the decision early enough for you to be able to make alternative arrangements.

We hope to welcome you to another market at Eastwood Library when we are back open again.

We apologise again for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure and we will update this page and social media when further information becomes available.

Please be aware that the main lift at Mansfield Central Library, which provides access from the ground floor to the second floor, is currently out of service.

We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The Mobile Library North routes will be out of service next week (w/ 14 September)

This will affect Routes 10, 11, 12 & 13 and cover the following areas:

The public PCs are also available for use. 

Please note that this is weather dependent, due to a water leak that has only been temporarily resolved.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Unfortunately the card machine is out of operation at Worksop Library, so we are unable to take card payments for the time being. Cash payments are still fine - we will let you know as soon as the issue is fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.
