OPENING TIMES : The library opens Monday to Saturday.

Times available : https://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/libraries/library-branches/dumbarton-library/

While the library naturally has a great book collection and has some interesting architectural features, it is for what else is available that it is included in this Doors Open Day event. These include:

• Local history materials, family history resources and archives covering the Dumbarton and Vale of Leven areas
• Local history resources including some publications for sale
• An exhibition on "From Living Memory to Memorial: Dumbarton’s WWI Stories".

The exhibition : FROM LIVING MEMORY TO MEMORIAL : DUMBARTON'S WWI STORIES" runs until November 2018. It brings together photographs and family stories outlining the hardships, emotions and resilience of local people during the four years of war. It also explains what life was like on the front line as many men from the area made the ultimate sacrifice in the "war to end all wars".
