West Dunbartonshire Council has been selected to be part of a national programme of community-based events marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Clydebank Library and Museum was one of 80 venues around the UK awarded £15,000 to participate in the Our Freedom: Then and Now campaign.

The campaign, led by Future Arts Centres in partnership with Libraries Connected, will involve working with local communities to develop activity throughout the year.

In Clydebank, the project will seek community memories of the end of the war, recollections of the feeling of freedom around VE/VJ Day, and input on what freedom means today.
