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:0
I 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.
