IT CHANGES EVERY YEAR

Each September the Ex Libris Book Fair presents a programme to engage people of all ages and tastes.

Intimate sessions with visiting authors, often held in historic venues, allow for easy interaction between writers and their audience.

A highlight is the massive second-hand book sale from local, regional and Melbourne book-sellers.

All this and more in picturesque, coastal Port Fairy.
