Port Fairy librarian Elaine Day said the town's library had enjoyed a busy start to the September holiday period.
"We have had good numbers to start the holidays, a lot of them locals," Mrs Day said.
"As a community facility we can have up to 20 people at a time so that allows us to open and be a good option for people looking for something to do."
Warrnambool parents Viveka Simpson and Renae Turner included a visit to the library during a day trip to Port Fairy with their six-year-olds Elia and Gabriel.
