Our Douglas Libraries team recently gave the Clean Up Carpet a spin, and letโ€™s just sayโ€ฆ itโ€™s a winner! ๐Ÿ†

From recycling and rubbish to compost and even worm food ๐Ÿ›, every roll of the dice is a chance to learn something new.
The best part? Kids across Douglas will soon get to join in the fun at upcoming library events! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Weโ€™ve loved looking back on the libraryโ€™s 20th anniversary. Monday 27 April marked two decades since the much loved facility opened its doors, replacing the original 1977 Mill Street library.

Parts of that original building remain today, but the major 2006 upgrade transformed the space into the modern community hub we all enjoy.

You might spot some familiar faces in this video!
