Sometimes one seemingly small story is actually the gateway to the story of a whole community! Come and learn how the creation of the Camas-Washougal Historical Society encapsulates the histories of our two towns and even entwines with the history of the Library. It's a wild ride of twists and turns and shenanigans to get to where we are today, and you won't want to miss it!
The Camas Public Library is joining more than 140 libraries across California, Oregon and Washington in One Book, One Coast, the largest regional book club on the West Coast.
Please join us for an open house on Wednesday, May 20, 6-8 p.m., at Lacamas Lake Lodge, to hear about the project and design process. Your participation and feedback are essential!
Help us design a new Reading Dragons card! Color the creature, give it a name, and return it to the Service Desk. The winning design will be made into a Reading Dragons card (available Fall 2026). You can pick up a coloring sheet at the Library, or print one from home (see attachments here).
Contest runs Friday, May 1 - Saturday, May 16, 2026.
