What is Improv Theater?

In honor of Hunger Action Month, the Camas Library is hosting a food drive during the month of September. Donations will be given to the Camas School District's Family-Community Resource Center (FCRC).

While all non-perishable food items are welcome, FCRC has high demand for cereal, jam, and pantry staples like chili, broth, cooking oil, and condiments. Hygiene items and laundry pods are also accepted.

The donation box is located inside the Library near the north entrance. 

The latest addition to our Library of Things collection are Memory Kits!

These are designed to provide comfort and inspire connections and conversation through reminiscence. Each kit includes activity and photo cards, and a DVD that plays a slideshow with colorful photographs and video clips. Kits can be checked out for 3 weeks with up to 1 renewal.
