You've probably heard that coloring has many benefits. Here's what the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association recently stated.
"Studies have shown that “structured coloring of a reasonably complex geometric pattern,” such as a symmetrical mandala pattern or coloring book, can lead to a meditative state that helps reduce anxiety. Consider breaking out your adult coloring books, or drawing your own pattern."
Our library's Coloring for Adults group will be meeting in Room C to color together.
Join us the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month for the library's Memoir Writing Group. Everyone has a story to tell. Share a memory from your life or write about the people, places, and events that helped to shape it.
Bring a copy of your writing to the meeting. At the meeting, share your writing and listen as others read their stories. This is not a critique group but a supportive place to share your writing.
We have members with all skill levels. New members and visitors are always welcome!
