The Island's Family Library has been given a cash injection to keep its Mobile library open for at least another year.
The future of the library has been uncertain - with talks about closing after financial backing from Tynwald ceased last year.
The service requires £250,000 each year to operate.
Now, government says £125,000 will be given from a fund managed by the Treasury.
A consultation on the report of the Council of Ministers Working Party on Libraries will be launched next week.
