A Message from the Director

What a momentous occasion! We are honored to celebrate the Library’s 100th year. We aspire to bring to our community events and learning opportunities throughout the entire year, which will reveal the Library’s history, while infusing some fun events that weave in our present and even our future. We’ll ask for your stories, too. Because the Library is you, and us, and everyone here in Camas. So here’s to all of us, and to the Library – a century in the books!

-Connie Urquhart


                                                     

Events, Art, History, & More!

Join us for our History Speaks! event series. Come see the Exhibitions in the Second Story Gallery. Share your memories about the Camas Library in our Memory Library project. Jump back into time through digitized scrapbooks...and more! Follow us for all the fun as we celebrate throughout 2023.
