Tynwald approves annual grant for two years
Government funding for the mobile and home libraries, as well as schools services, has been secured for an interim period.
It's after Tynwald approved recommendations in a report looking into the future of the services, which will see a working party set up to investigate the issue further.
An amendment, by Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer, means Family Library Limited will receive £125,000 per year, for the next two years, to provide the services.
The chair of the select committee which looked into the matter, Claire Bettison MHK, addressed members before the votes on the recommendations:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
