Read all about it - Family Library launches website 21 April 2009 YOUNG readers can now learn all about the Family Library online. The Department of Education’s library in Noble’s Hall, Douglas, has launched a colourful website packed with information for its 1,500 members, parents and teachers. Included are details of where to find the librar y, how to join and how to take part in the many events the library hosts for everyone from tots to teenagers. The Family Library can offer primary schools exchanges of books to supplement their own collections and details of this service are online. There’s a news and reviews section onto which members can post reviews about the latest books and films. The website has links to other sites that offer information about children’s reading. Librarian-in-charge Mary Cousins said the site’s current content was just the start. She said: ‘The website has all the basic information and so it's a good place for people to find out about us, where we are and what goes on at the library. ‘The site will have updates about what's been happening at the library and we will eventually have small reviews about new stock. We’d welcome reviews from members too - about their favourite book, CD or movie of the moment, which we can put up on the site for everyone to enjoy.’ Membership of the Family Library is £1 a year for children, who may borrow up to six books, three CDs and one DVD at a time. Parents of young members can join for £3 a year. Membership is also open to teachers. More stories >>>
