If you are struggling to think of a Christmas present for someone, then the Family Library has a new voucher scheme that could have the answer!

You can now purchase vouchers to the value of ?2, ?5, ?10 or ?20, which can then be used to either buy membership of the Family Library or to go towards the participation costs of any of the many special activities that the library lays on.

Librarian in charge Mary Cousins said: ‘These vouchers are available all year round, but could come in handy at this time of the year if you are looking for the ideal stocking filler.’

The Family Library’s popular gift bags and colouring books, both ?5, are also on sale.

To buy the vouchers, book bags or colouring books, call into the Family Library, next to the children’s playground in Westmoreland Road, Douglas.

The Family Library operates as a charity and runs the Mobile Family Library and a Schools Service. To keep up to date on events and to find out more about the services available, check out the Family Library page on Facebook or visit www.familylibrary.im or call the library on 640650.
