LIBRARY MEMBERSHIP 

You can become a member of the library for FREE!

We have several different types of membership available, depending on if you are a resident of the Shire of Carnarvon or simply making our town a temporary adventure on a journey along the Coral Coast.

You can read our Terms & Conditions that apply to library members. Please contact the library by e-mail if you have any questions about joining the library.

    Educator/Organisation members

    Are you a schoolteacher who wants to borrow for teaching purposes, a home educator hoping to borrow items for a longer period, or want to borrow something for work purposes rather than using your personal library membership? Whatever the situation, come in and talk to us because you may qualify for a Educator/Organisation membership. Additional Terms and Conditions apply.

    Outreach deliveries to Stations and Remote Properties

    Individuals and families living on remote stations/properties within the Shire of Carnarvon can apply for a station membership.

    Regular selections of books, DVDs and magazines are delivered to families; staff select items on behalf of families based on their preferences.  Outreach deliveries are made possible courtesy of the regional courier service providers.
