Douglas Community & Library Centre

Douglas Community & Library Centre We are a large integrated Community Centre and Library Complex operating in the heart of Douglas estate. Our main purpose is to serve as a social, information and resource centre which meets the needs of all age-groups.

Improvements to our entrance and reception area have resulted in first class access for disabled users. We hope this underlines our commitment to offer a service to the wider population.

The Centre also has a local Management Group who are very much involved in producing programme ideas. Any local person interested in the work of the Centre will be made welcome.

Our facilities include

  • a gymnasium
  • computer facilities
  • a snooker table
  • a breakfast / snack lunch facility
  • a Youth Enquiry Service Point
  • a lift to all floors
  • a large function lounge
  • well equipped play facilities

Our Aim...

...is to do whatever we can to make you feel welcome and valued.
