In "9 Things to Love Right Now," Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich called coloring "addictively calming, especially nice on days when the world seems to be ending."
And recent research shows coloring is great for grown-ups because it stimulates areas of the brain that enhance focus and concentration.
Want to try your hand at coloring? Join the Adult Coloring Club at Budlong Woods Branch. Our first event is 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 26. You can use our supplies, or bring your own.
