The Manx Family Centre Mobile Library bus

Our Mobile Library van visits locations across the island, normally every fortnight, bringing books, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs to your community. It targets those who feel isolated and is a great way of linking people together, the books are a facilitator for connection as much as reading.

Routes & Timings

Where to Find Us

The Mobile Library reaches every parish on the Island, so wherever you are it comes to you at some point in the round. Our routes change with the TT, weather and road closures, so we cannot print a fixed timetable. Follow us on Facebook for current stops and times, or call us on 01624 640650.
