We have a collection of board games to use in the library anytime during opening hours - all you need is a library card.

Gather your friends on a weekend to battle for glory in one of our strategy games like RISK or Ticket to Ride: Europe, or just fill in some time after school with some quick rounds of Bananagrams or Chess.

LibraryCraft is a free online 24/7 Minecraft Server for all Western Australian kids aged 7 to 17! Released in 2011, Minecraft is a sandbox 3D world with virtually infinite terrain where players may discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and simple machines.

If you play the Java Edition of Minecraft on your PC or Mac, then you can join LibraryCraft's Creative (a peaceful world where players have unlimited resources) or 'Player versus Player' (a more combative world where players can fight each other) servers. Please note that these servers are not Bedrock Edition, which is the cross-platform XBox/PC/iOS/Android version of Minecraft.

All players have to register at librarycraft.net/join/ in order to play; LibraryCraft is a ‘whitelisted’ server, which means it is mandatory that all player's provide proof of age to show they are in the required age group.

LibraryCraft is supported by the City of Fremantle, City of Canning, City of Bunbury, City of Busselton, Town of Victoria Park and City of Melville. The Shire of Carnarvon is one of many Local Government Promotion Partners.

Professionally trained musician, WAAPA graduate, and Carnarvon local Adam B. Harris generously donated two ukulele kits to the Shire of Carnarvon Library & Art Gallery for World Ukulele Day 2023. Each kit contains a ukulele, a ukulele stand, and a digital tuner. Adam also donated two beginner’s ‘how-to’ guide books to the library collection.

All of these can be borrowed for free using your library membership. Equally, you could arrange a time to try out the ukulele in the Library Lounge either alone or with friends.

For enquiries about borrowing one of the ukulele kits, contact the Library Team for more details.

E-Smart Week will be held from Monday 30 March to Sunday 5 April in 2026, dedicated to online safety, digital literacy, and empowering young people in the digital world.

The year’s theme will be Be Connected. Be eSmart: While connection can be one of digital technology’s greatest benefits, not all young people have the same access, and for Australians under 16, access to many digital platforms has changed. It’s also important to acknowledge that, while digital tech can help young people feel more connected, it can sometimes do the exact opposite.

This year’s theme is about encouraging healthy connections – to peers, to families, and to technologies that can support young people to thrive.
