eMagazines available free of charge at our libraries
Residents can now read free digital copies of their favourite magazines on their computer, smart phone or tablet following Derbyshire County council’s launch of a new service.
More than 90 eMagazines are now available free of charge through DCC’s library service. Popular titles like BBC Good Food, New Scientist, Marie Claire, Best, Hello, BBC Top Gear and Men’s Health are amongst the eMagazines on offer along with specialist magazines on subjects including photography, arts and crafts and cycling.
The eMagazines can be read in the library on a computer, or on a home laptop or PC, smart phone or tablet. Borrowers need to be a member of the library service – which is free to join − and then they can create an eMagazines account. They download the titles that they want to read and there is no limit to the number of titles selected.
There are no loan periods or returns so once the magazine is downloaded it can be kept for as long as the borrower wants and then deleted.
There is also the option to be emailed when the next issue of the magazine is available. All of this can be done from home but anyone needing help to sign up can get help in their local library.
Our Deputy Cabinet Member for Health and Communities Councillor Ellie Wilcox, said:
“This is an excellent new venture by our libraries and already proving very popular. I’m impressed by the range of magazines on offer and as they are free to download people can save quite a lot of money.”
“I’m sure that most people will find something that they like and they can download it in the comfort of their own home or while on the move onto their phone or tablet. It is perfect for a bus or rail journey.”
Residents can find out more about the eMagazine service at their local library or sign up online (opens in a new window)

Although this is outside our area, the Blog Team felt, as it is free, that this Christmas event may be of interest to some local parents:

BUSES at RISK
Parwich is at risk of losing its bus services as we know them today.
Derbyshire County Council, faced with Government cuts, has to make savings and is consulting about a new network for its subsidised services. In order to preserve as much of the service as we have today, can people in the village complete a DCC questionnaire copies of which are in the Pump bus shelter.
It is vital for our village that we have a voice in making sure we retain services, especially for those who use the bus to shop, link in to the Swift service from Ashbourne to Derby and Uttoxeter or depend on it to get to the Royal Derby Hospital. (A taxi from the Royal Derby to Parwich costs in the region of £30.)
A significant number in Parwich will be affected if the bus service is radically altered leaving the elderly, teenagers, those who need it for work or hospital appointments or travelling further afield at a significant disadvantage.
The questionnaire can also be completed online at
derbyshire.gov.uk/supportedbuses
But there are those without access to the Internet which is why there are hard copies in the Pump Shed. These have to be completed by December 14 and handed in at the library in Ashbourne or the mobile library in Parwich on December 1 or December 15. Alternatively, put the completed form through the letter box of Church Cottage (above the trough) and we will ensure they are handed in.
Could people be neighbourly and watch out for those who might like copies of the form.
Perhaps surprisingly, the questionnaire does not ask us what would encourage us to use the service or use it more frequently. I think it would be worthwhile adding your view to the questionnaire.

Opening date for £60,000 leisure centre upgrade
A £60,000 upgrade of the fitness suite at Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Ashbourne Leisure Centre is to be unveiled on schedule. From this coming Monday, 1 December, existing and new members will be able to use the new facility – an extension of the centre’s former fitness suite, featuring new equipment – followed by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday 5 December.
The District Council successfully won the upgrade funding from Derbyshire County Council’s ‘Aiming High Fund’ to create an inclusive fitness centre of excellence, giving better access, equipment and environment for people with varying disabilities. A condition of the grant meant the funding had to be spent and the project completed by the end of December this year – and work started on 10 October.
It’s a welcome boost for the District Council following a blaze at the Ashbourne centre at the end of July. Investigations by experts and insurers means the centre’s pool will remain closed until the new year. Continue Reading »

To everyone in Parwich, I would like to say a very sincere thank you for all your kindness in sending cards, messages, donations and loving thoughts to me and the girls following Brian’s death.
We have been overwhelmed by it all. It still seems very unreal and I miss him so much. Although hard, it has been so lovely to read words describing what he meant to people and how they remembered him. We have so many great friends and memories from our time in Parwich, and he treasured all those.
Also a special thanks to everyone who came up to Cumbria to be with us and give us support. He would have been very proud and honoured.
I don’t know how I will get over this ache and it will take a long time but I will try to be positive like he was. Thank you again.
Love Barbara and family

Our Weatherman in the Village says:
After a very mild Saturday, temperatures look like dropping to more normal levels with a cooler period in prospect. Monday looks like being dry and bright followed by damper conditions mid-week and hopefully a return to dry conditions later in the week.
There may be the chance of some overnight frost this week, but not much prospect of fog, so the clearly displayed contact details of our long suffering Parish Councilors will be continue to be visible on the notice board ( – as they were this week when I walked by)!
