New 5-year deal agreed
The Isle of Man Government is to gradually reduce financial backing for the Family Library.
A new deal's been agreed to support the facility on Westmoreland Road, Douglas over the next five years with an initial grant of £125,000 being paid out in August.
That annual sum will be shrunk to £65,000 by 2026.
Terms of the agreement also requires the Family Library to find alternative income from elsewhere.
The Government's pledged £475,000 to continue the Mobile, Children and Home Delivery Library services.
