It was started in 2013 by Dereck and Beverly Joubert to celebrate these legendary animals (nationaltoday.com)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lions are the second largest cat in the world, they can weigh between 300 and 550 pounds. They used to roam all over Africa and the Eurasian continent. But now it is estimated that there are only 30 000 and 100 000 lions left (daysoftheyear). World Lion Day was started in 2013 by Dereck and Beverly Joubert to bring attention to the dwindling population of these big cats as they are listed as endangered species.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We also want to give a huge shout-out to our own lion; Logie. Logie is the library\u2019s mascot. Why a lion you may ask, well it\u2019s all due to the Lion\u2019s Gate Garden at Merchiston Campus. And you all named him back in 2019, a shortened version of logarithms which was invented by John Napier. He has been with us ever since, proudly promoting our libraries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2592\" style=\"width: 239px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2592\" data-attachment-id=\"2592\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/2022\/08\/10\/world-lion-day\/king-of-the-library\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"king of the library\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?fit=676%2C901&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2592 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library.jpg?resize=229%2C305&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of Logie the Lion at Merchiston Library\" width=\"229\" height=\"305\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?resize=676%2C901&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.napier.ac.uk\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2022\/08\/king-of-the-library-scaled.jpg?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 229px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 229\/305;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Logie the Lion at Merchiston Library<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can find out more about these majestic creatures by following the hashtag #WorldLionDay on Twitter,\u00a0 the Big Cat Rescue or watching some documentaries on BOB (Box Of Broadcasts)!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/learningonscreen.ac.uk\/ondemand\/index.php\/prog\/01B2B371?bcast=133938976\">https:\/\/learningonscreen.ac.uk\/ondemand\/index.php\/prog\/01B2B371?bcast=133938976<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it may seem doom and gloom, raising awareness matters and individuals can make a difference.
