Comments from past participants: *I gained background knowledge on the popularity of coloring book programs, particularly for adults, which has emerged over recent years. I also have a better idea of why coloring interests many people. There is much rationale for implementing a coloring book into a museum/library setting. I really enjoyed watching Johanna and actually went out an bought Lost Oceans:0I followed the rabbit hole and visited her website and learned more about colouring. Things I learned about programming a colouring event is that food is good way to get people to come in! I also think having options for people to colour is important instead of telling them what to colour. *We will look at the materials that you will need and the ways to create an exciting program that your patrons will enjoy.
