Special milestone for library
THE Port Fairy Library is this month celebrating its 40th birthday.
As thousands of visitors flocked to the seaside town last weekend to enjoy the Winter Weekend festivities, those at the library quietly celebrated the milestone with a delicious cake and special activities.
Staff and library visitors of all ages enjoyed spending time among the book shelves sharing stories and enjoying some shared activities.
“It was a lovely morning and we were thrilled to be joined by Margaret Whitehead who was our town’s very first female counsellor and was also president of the historical society and a member of the Friends of the Library,” librarian Claudia Matthews said.
“Margaret was also here with her sisters Robyn and Lyn which was also special. It was nice to see people of all ages visiting us at the library throughout the day.”
