A library service in Douglas says it needs corporate sponsors to come forward as it searches for a funding lifeline.
The Family Library and Mobile Library, based on Upper Church Street, says it's facing an £85,000 black hole this year.
Previously a series of corporate sponsors had helped it find the £240,000 a year it needs to run its services.
Sandra Henderson, the mobile library's head librarian, says the service is a vital piece of people's lives:
