The library’s caretaker. She’s small, brisk, and always smells faintly of lavender polish.
If you hear Dolly Parton echoing through the stacks after hours, that’ll be Miss Morag McTavish doing a wee tidy. She’s been the keeper of Thistlewick’s library keys for as long as anyone can remember (and some say she’s got a spare key to every biscuit tin in the village, too).
Her tea must always come with a caramel log – non-negotiable – and she’s been known to classify visitors under ‘mildly suspicious’ if they dare bring anything else. With a twinkle in her eye and a laugh that could rattle the bookcases, Morag ensures the library stays in perfect order.
Loves a good laugh, a tidy shelf, and a strong cuppa. Approach with biscuits and good humour only.

It’s been noted (mainly by Mrs. Pringle at the bakery) that Postie Norbert McSquirrley has been making rather a lot of deliveries to the library lately – none of which appear to contain actual mail. Observers report a suspicious amount of hair-combing and whistling outside the library door, followed by the faint sound of Dolly Parton drifting from within.
Miss Morag insists he’s simply returning overdue books – though sources confirm one of them was titled The Art of Subtle Flirting.
