Library of Things
September 3, 2021 - September is “Library Card Sign-Up Month”! If you don’t already have a card, now is a great time to get a free Camas Public Library card (replacements are free as well). You can come to the Library or fill out the online form. Everyone is eligible to receive a Library card, even if you live outside the City limits.
We have much more to offer than just books! While we have magazines, newspapers, and DVDs, the REAL fun comes from several items you may not even know we offer.
