Camas library kicks off 12-week ‘Read for Change’ initiative

When Camas Public Library staff were brainstorming a theme for their first-ever “Read for Change” community reading initiative, library director Connie Urquhart said staff couldn’t deny the social justice issues happening throughout the nation. 

“We are not immune to everything that’s going on in the world as library staff,” Urquhart said. “We had been missing our community and felt the need to do something to reach out to our community, to connect with them in a meaningful way. So we thought, ‘Why not have something we can do every year? A community reading program based around some sort of change in today’s world.”
