The City of Camas is undertaking a multi-year initiative to update the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Our Camas 2045 Comprehensive Plan will establish a vision for growth and development and will articulate goals, objectives, policies, and actions to guide our future through 2045.

Do you find yourself always lost in a story of your own making? Or wishing you had more time to work on creative writing projects for fun? Dear Reader is a welcoming, non-judgmental and open space to work on your creative writing!

We meet on the 1st Wednesday of every month and cater the meeting to the needs of those who attend! 

Registration required at CamasPL.org/DearReader

It's a book club without the assigned reading! Join your fellow book lovers for an hour of silent reading and then optional socializing afterward. B.Y.O.B (Bring your own book), or borrow one of ours. We'll have light beverages and snacks on hand, but feel free to bring your own.

We meet on the 2nd Friday and 4th Thursday of the month (except on holidays).

Schedule:

5:30-6:00 Arrive and settle in. The Library's doors lock right at 6, so make sure you're in the building before 6!

With the possibility of severe weather on the horizon, the City of Camas wants to remind residents of the City's Snow and Ice Map which details how we plow, and what gets plowed first.

For the month of March, the Second Story Gallery will display pieces of artwork by elementary school students (Kindergarten - 5th grade) from our community. We want as many students to participate as possible with the hope of filling the gallery to the brim with artwork!  Therefore, we are calling the exhibit Fill the Gallery! Elementary Art Exhibit. March is designated as Youth Art Month, so we wanted to use this opportunity to display artwork from the young artists in our community.

The November 7 General Election has been certified, and the results show that Camas’ City Council incumbents will remain on the dais, along with the newest member, John Svilarich.
