National Year of Reading
On Saturday 26th April libraries across the Island will be gearing up to receive new library joiners as part of the National Year of Reading's ground-breaking national initiative "Join a Library Day". This is part of the scheme organized by the Isle of Man Libraries Group, under the banner "Island Libraries - working together", and "Love your Local Library". The aim is to encourage as many people as possible to join their local library and just see what is on offer. Residents and non residents are welcome to join the Ward Library.
The Library has the latest best-selling books, classic books, audio books and Internet access. There is a very popular junior section, and in the Sophia Morrison Reference Room, an excellent local history collection. Local libraries are the anchor points for community life, and if you are new to an area, job seeking or just wanting to find out more about local issues, then the Ward Library is the place to start.
Please support your local Library. Visit the library website to find out how to join. Or print this Joining Form
