Bettison to examine the books

East Douglas MHK on library select committee

A member of a committee examining library provision on the Island says problems need to be addressed - not just highlighted.

MHKs Clare Bettison and Ann Corlett will sit alongside Jane Poole-Wilson MLC to examine how money for the Family Library is spent.

A hundred thousand pounds in government funding for the charity was secured last week after organisers had been struggling to raise money.

Miss Bettison says she'll accept criticism if nothing is done.
