Staff Favorites from 2021
Dec. 20th, 2021 - Wow, what a year! While many things made this past year unique, it was also similar to other years in one important way: we were fortunate enough to read some great books. The staff at the Camas Public Library got lost in many interesting titles and then found our way back to reality with a fresh perspective. We hope next year is the same.
We wanted to share some of the books the staff enjoyed this past year. The rules were the books did not need to be published within 2021, just something they read in 2021. While there are many “Best Books of the Year” lists floating around the internet, I can assure you that this is the best one of them all! Drum roll please….
