Every Wednesday afternoon during school term from 3-4.30pm, the library space shifts focus to support local Year 7-12 students with their studies.

Start a study group with your friends, find a quiet corner to do homework, or get an early start on your assignments.

You can even reserve a table for your study group in advance by giving the library a call on (08) 9941 3727.

Remember that our Wi-Fi and Public PCs are available during opening hours for students to use - see library staff for more details.

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.

See library staff for our full list of games.

The Sketchbook Project is an ongoing collaborative creative project that takes place every year in conjunction with the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival. It is an opportunity for young people aged 12-26 years to boldly experiment and develop their creative thoughts and capacity for self-expression, and to share this with their communities.
You can register for the Project, and you will receive a blank sketchbook to fill it with whatever your heart desires; drawings, paintings, recipes, poetry, sketches, quotes, and collages - feel free to express yourself in a way that is unique and authentic to you.

The sketchbooks are exhibited around Western Australia in galleries, libraries, and other venues as part of the annual Travelling Sketchbook Exhibition, and then returned to the creators.

The Sketchbook Project is a great way to dabble in creative writing, art, poetry and more in easily accessible way, without the formality of a poetry or art competition - this is just a pure celebration of creativity and a fun way to share your imagination with others!

2025 Sketchbook Project

The next chapter of the 2024 Scribblers program is here: The Golden Feather Hunt. The Hunt ends 25 October 2024!

Stay tuned, as our feathers will be found in even more libraries across Western Australia in 2025!

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/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.
