Microgaming is donating £30,000 to the Mobile Family Library.

Over the next three years the gaming company will give £10,000 a year to maintain the running costs of the vehicles.

The two mobile library vehicles need to be taxed, insured, have an annual MOT, regular mechanical upkeeps as well as being kitted out with resources.

Librarian Sandra Henderson says the donation will improve the service for the community:
