Camas Books & Infoshop

Camas Books & Infoshop Under the pavement lies the Camas. We also carry zines, patches, stickers, and a range of t-shirts and other artisan-produced items.

Camas Books & Infoshop is a community run, all volunteer bookstore with new and used books on a variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction. Feel free to come by and hang out on the couches in the back, or play in the kids' space. There are also many extra-curricular happenings at the store. Check out website for a listing of events, drop by for workshops, special guest speakers, and much more.

A Camas volunteer picked up the newest Pindian album the other day, titled "Spirits Back" and wrote this review: It is a wonderful compilation of songs. I especially loved the song about his grandma, "Marilyn," as well as the parts 1&2 to the Letter to Canada. A note of fun can be heard in the dance tune "Peckin" and the finale "Spirits Back" is a very intense end to the cd's journey.

Pindian is a special guest at the Revolutionary Rumpus Opening for the Anarchist Bookfair at Little Fernwood: 8pm on Friday, Sept 18th.

🖤🔥🏴🅰🖤🔥🏴🅰🖤🔥🏴🅰🖤🔥🏴
All parts of the application must be submitted before Saturday April 25th, 2026 at 11:59pm PDT.

We welcome applications for grassroots all-volunteer anti-hierarchical/anarchist activist projects. We are interested in supporting community projects that would not gain funding from the state or from charities, and favour supporting collectives or community groups rather than to individuals or for-profit businesses. Project themes we're excited to support include:
* Indigenous Sovereignty/Resurgence Projects
* Allyship/Accompliceship Projects
* Food Security Projects
* Tenant’s Rights/Housing Security Projects
* Refugee/Migrant Support Projects
* Prison Abolition/Prisoner Support Projects
* Ecological Actions/Projects
* Disaster Response/Community Resiliency Projects
* Skillshares/Consciousness Raising Non-State Educational Initiatives
* Activist Art/Radical Media Projects
* Anarchist Projects

This mutual aid project would not be possible without the incredible support of YOU, our community. Camas Books is a not-for profit, volunteer-run operation — after we pay rent, order books, and pay artists who sell their creations through us, our surplus revenue goes back into the community via mutual aid.
Without community support, we would not have surplus resources to distribute towards projects in the community where folks are working - in so many different ways - to create a more just, caring, anti-hierarchical world in the shell of the old.
