Observations, insights & sightings: The latest adult craze

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, January 22, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
Coloring for adults is the latest craze.

Why? It's relaxing, lowers stress, you end up with something beautiful, coloring can be fun (some books are humorous), and there is a level of nostalgia about coloring like when you were a child.

The Ada Public Library has a Coloring Book Club for those 13 years old and older. Sessions begin at 6 pm. You can come and go as you please between then and closing at 8 pm.

The next session will be Thursday, Feb. 7.

Supplies are provided--the coloring books and color pencils and markers. Crayons aren't usually used because the designs are too detailed for the thicker crayons.
