The colors around us

Coloring club at work in the public library
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, January 7, 2019

• Interested in joining the Ada Public Library coloring club? The next meeting is 3:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 18, at the library.

The club meeting was pretty quiet. You might say, quiet as in “stress-relieving quiet.”

Yet, there were animals, enchanted forests, secret gardens and kaleidoscope designs radiating from the artists’ palettes.

Three members of informal adult coloring club at the Ada Public Library sat around a table keenly focused on their work on Friday afternoon.
