Plans have been proposed for a series of refurbishment works at Alexandria Library.

A new lift would be installed in the 1884 structure, delivering disabled access to the first floor for the first time in the building's history.

Further works proposed include the creation of a museum space to celebrate the town and area's cultural heritage, and new multi-purpose rooms for community use.

Malcolm Bennie, Strategic Lead for Communications, Culture and Communities, said: "This proposal would open up the first-floor of Alexandria Library to those with accessibility issues for the first time. The new museum would celebrate the history of Alexandria and provide a new attraction for visitors to the area. And the new multi-use space would have numerous benefits the local community and the library offer."

The Cultural Committee of West Dunbartonshire will consider the proposal at the Cultural Committee Meeting on 25 February.
