Local authority says it wants to hear from more residents before making decision
Jurby Commissioners is extending its consultation with residents about whether to continue supporting the Manx Family Centre’s mobile library.
The local authority says it has received a number of responses online and from a paper copy in a local shop.
It confirmed there are three people on the charity's list of regular service users in the parish, but believes it needs to hear from more residents.
The library was previously known as The Family Library and was threatened with closure in July 2025.
However, after a number of fundraising campaigns, the library is now run by the Manx Family Community Association which is an independent charity.
The charity is asking Jurby Commissioners for £500 for the year to cover expenses and keep the service operating.
