Cunderdin Community Resource Centre (CRC) brings together community programs, library services, technology, training and practical assistance for people in Cunderdin, Meckering and surrounding rural areas.

Programs and community activities
Tiny Tots
Tiny Tots offers free social sessions for parents, carers and young children at the CRC.
It provides an opportunity to meet other local families and spend time together. Check the current Tiny Tots listing or contact the centre for session dates and participation information.
Young people and community participation
The CRC works within local youth partnerships, including connections with Cunderdin Youth Council.
Administered and supported by the Shire of Cunderdin, the Youth Council gives young people opportunities to represent their community, develop leadership skills and help organise activities. The Shire’s youth strategy includes working with the CRC on activities in both Cunderdin and Meckering.
Contact the CRC about local youth activities or connecting with the Youth Council.
Public library and digital reading
The CRC houses Cunderdin Public Library, serving Cunderdin, Meckering and surrounding communities.
Membership is free, with books, DVDs and audiobooks available to borrow. Regular exchanges through the State Library of Western Australia refresh the collection.
Library members can also access digital resources including BorrowBox, Libby and Hoopla, providing options for reading, listening and entertainment from home.
