A small sample of the many images taken during this transition can be seen here:

2. Conwy Library
Library staff and regulars placed themselves in their favourite work based location, selecting an object or highlighting something that had personal significance or attachment.
3. Conwy Archives
Archives staff and volunteers placed themselves in their favourite work based location, selecting an object or highlighting something that had personal significance or attachment.
