Inverness primary school pupils find sanctuary in library’s ‘bubble’ thanks to rotary club
Pupils at an Inverness primary school have been given a special space where they can retreat with a book.
A “bubble” - or see-through dome - has been installed in Merkinch Primary School’s library thanks to Inverness Rotary Club.

It follows a visit to the school by club members who were impressed by the building but found out that funds were hard to come by for extra things.
After talking to deputy head Louise James and Vee Walker, the school’s voluntary writer in residence, they decided to help create a place for youngsters to find a cosy sanctuary where they could feel sheltered but not out of sight.
“The bubble idea was born – a see-through dome that sits in the middle of the library with cosy seating, a place to chill with a book, or for someone to read to you,” a club spokesman explained.
Rotarian Tony Janetta led the project, researching it and persuading Rotary Foundation to match funds raised by the Rotary Club of Inverness.
In total, it cost £2750.
The club also provided volunteers to assemble it.
