Libraries in Moray, Perth and Kinross and Aberdeenshire earmarked for closure have been saved (for now)!

The amount of effort the residents-turned-activists have put into their local campaigns is admirable - and it's great to see it has paid off

@morvenmckinnonn Omg Morven, that’s a great news! You go girl 🎉🎉

Moray reverses plans to close 60% of branches.

This is why public support and joined up campaigning with evidence is so important.

It was great chatting to @SeanJMcNamara1 about the unprecedented cuts in library services seen across Scotland

[Sean McNamara @SeanJMcNamara1]

Librarians in plea over 'never before seen cuts'. Libraries are well used, especially when there is investment in books, resources, buildings and staff and we hope this week's Scottish budget will help reduce these damaging cuts @CILIPinfo @publiclibnews https://t.co/j907hbQtvc

This was a fun one to work on, and very informative too.

I’ve learned a lot about flapper skates in Shetland thanks to @uhishetland and their research into these endangered animals.

Watch the moment a skate attacks a fisherman's boat off Shetland.

The partial solar #Eclipse wasn't seen by many in the UK due to cloudy weather. But the clear skies in northern and western Scotland meant some could see the Moon obscure part of the Sun, and Shetland wasn't an exception. This snap was taken by Elaine Rodgers above Nesbister.

Before boarding a return flight to Slovakia, Maja Demitra received one final memorable gift from a Blues fan - Pavol's jersey from the 2002 #NHLAllStar Game.

The Buchanan family - who lives at the Lake of the Ozarks - has been in possession of the jersey for years after winning it through a charity raffle. Today, they returned it back to where it rightfully belongs - with the Demitra family. #stlblues

@MartinesR6 @taylorswift13 @NHL I wasn't implying it was a dig at all. I mentioned it was a funny trolling post from an account that seems to support Canadiens, I never perceived it as something aimed against Juraj. Apologies if that's what it sounded like. The point is Slovak media should be more careful.

1. How a single Twitter user trolled numerous Slovak news outlets. Saturday morning was rather successful for Slovak sports- Petra Vlhová won 1st round in Kranjska Gora, Šimon Nemec became 1st Star of the Game and @taylorswift13 backed Slafkovsky's participation at @nhl All-Star
