Following the COVID-19 measures announcement by the Chief Minister yesterday afternoon, and reviewing precautions which could be taken to mitigate the risks posed to the local community, The George Herdman Library, Port Erin will be closed from 7pm today (Tuesday 17^th March). We will take this opportunity to undertake planned maintenance works, a stock take and deep clean. A review on operations going forward will be made at the end of March. If you have any items to return, please keep hold of these whilst the library remains closed; you will not incur any late return fees.

The Commissioners’ Office public counter will also be closed from end of business today. Again, a review on operations going forward will be made at the end of March. Our staff will still be contactable via phone (832298) or email (info@porterin.gov.im). Commissioners tenants who currently pay by cash have been advised of this step and have been encouraged to move to electronic payment methods.
