The new Greerton Library has drawn in more than 4000 people since opening on July 15.
The opening of the new building became a special community event with a ribbon cutting and a waiata from the library staff.
Tauranga city libraries manager Jill Best said more than 2600 people visited on opening day followed by another 1500 over the weekend.
"This was up from around 500 people per day during the week and 200 on Saturday mornings visiting the old library and the Sunday figures will rise once more people realise the library is now open 7 days," she said.
