🌊✨ It's #MapMonsterMonday, and today we're diving into the depths of Loch Morar – the deepest loch in the UK! Did you know it's home to its very own resident monster, Mòrag? 🐉 Sighted over 30 times, she's a legend in her own right.

We’ve registered on the basis of their opening paragraph: Libraries offer books, promote literacy, access to knowledge, lifelong learning, safe spaces for debate, nurture generations of critical citizens. One of the last free, safe, public spaces for everyone. Libraries=crucial for healthy society🙌
