Children and their parents try to untie a human knot as part of a game during a sleepover at the Camas Public Library last fall. The event is one of the many programs the library offers free of charge.
Attendees packed the Camas Public Library during a free workshop about self-publishing. The class was taught by Sean Jones (pictured) and John Williams of Inkwater Press.
Rachel Nutter, senior library assistant, leads a storytime activity for toddlers at the Washougal Community Library.
Master gardener workshops are popular at the Camas Public Library, and usually draw a crowd. At this workshop, attendees learned about a variety of uses for common herbs.
"Read to the Dog," is a popular new program at the Camas Public Library, and it is also a senior project. Karen Nicholson, library associate, helps to organize it.
The Washougal Community Library regularly holds events for patrons of all ages. This is quite a change from 20 years ago, when libraries were mainly used to check out books and have reference questions answered.
