Whether you've never thought about moths before or you're already curious about the creatures of the night, there's never been an easier time to get involved.

Where to borrow a moth trap - Traps are currently available from Green Library Hubs in Dingwall, Culloden, Fortrose, Caol, Fort William, Ardnamurchan, Thurso, Wick and Ullapool, with more locations expected to join the scheme. Contact your local participating library to check availability. 📗🦋

Bookbug is having such a good time on Bookbug's Big Quest for Bookbug Week! Do you recognise where Bookbug's quest has taken them?

If you want to join in the Bookbug fun, why not head to a Bookbug session at your local library? You can find information about all the Bookbug sessions taking place across the Highlands by downloading the official Bookbug app (available for both Apple and Android) and heading to the adult's area. Or, check out the page for your local library, that will hold all the information about their Bookbug sessions, as well as all the other fun you can have in the library!

Your child is never too young to become a library member, and if you have missed out on any of your child's Bookbug bags your library can help with that, too!

🌍 Climate Conversations 🌍
A space for sharing stories about the climate crisis, nature, and the environment. Each session starts with a story read aloud, followed by an informal discussion — because we care, and we know you do too.

For the children and families sessions, we’ll be reading a picture book or two, while the adults and teens sessions will feature a short story.

Join the conversation 💚
