Thank you to everyone who entered our 2025 Scary Story Contest! We had so much fun reading all your submissions - we even lost sleep over how scary some of the stories were. Congratulations to our winners: Logan Milardo, Reily Cox, and Sadie Haggblom! If you were unable to hear their stories being read at our Haunted Happenings on October 25, you can read them here!

Better understand the latest changes to Medicare and senior health coverage. This presentation will cover the basics of Medicare, answer common questions, and highlight important updates for 2025.

This year brings significant changes to senior health plans and national healthcare policy, impacting areas such as medication costs, food and transportation allowances, and Medicaid dual enrollment programs. Terrazas Agencies will share insights, explain new benefits, and provide clarity about what these changes mean for you or your loved ones.

You’re never too young (or too old!) to start writing. Whether you want to entertain, teach, dream up new worlds, or rewrite history, your voice matters.

Maybe you're not sure how to begin. Maybe you don’t think you have the skills yet. That’s okay—every writer starts somewhere.

Join J. Todd McMillan, author of 9 exciting books for young readers, as he shows you how fun and easy writing can be.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have started your first masterpiece—and taken your first steps as a real writer.

Be our next Kid Librarian! Kid Librarians will have a designated shelf in the Library for their books and artwork; they also will be featured on our social media sites in pictures or videos. Share things like the books you are reading, reimagined cover art, or a video book review.

Please note, while Mondays are the only days listed, the availability is for the full week. For example, if you sign up for Monday, November 3, your child will be the star Kid Librarian for November 3-7. We also highly encourage siblings to share one week due to the popularity of the program.

We are looking for volunteers aged 14-17 to help with kids games and to perform in our Haunted Library's Spider Room / Creepy Stairwell on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

Performers will need to be able to provide your own costumes and makeup. We will need:

• Volunteers in the Spider Room to wear all black.
• Volunteers in the Creepy Stairwell to be comfortable performing jump scares.

Various time slots available from 4:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.

Please register by October 24, 2025 - CamasPL.org/volunteer

A partnership between the City of Camas and students from the Camas High School Watershed Alliance Club (CWAC) has resulted in new informational signs being placed around Lacamas Lake.

Students in the newly formed CWAC group reached out to the City in October 2024 to discuss ways they could help inform the public about nonpoint source pollutants that contribute to harmful algal blooms in Lacamas Lake.
