(West Dunbartonshire Libraries)

Working with local communities, including writers; heritage, book, and craft groups; and residential centres to capture memories of celebration and freedom, Clydebank Library will be reflecting on the feeling of freedom that VE/VJ Day brought, and asking what freedom means today. Hopeful in nature, a photo/video exhibition will be created showing the impact of the Clydebank Blitz and how the landscape has recovered today.

Local author Paul Bristow will hold sessions with schools to look at how the end of the war was celebrated, and to gather the views of now and future from the area’s young people.
