Coloring Pages
Ongoing Experience at Your Library

Coloring pages and books are becoming all the rage among adults. Coloring can provide a calming effect and help deal with stress and reconnect to a more carefree time in your life – your childhood. If you would like to try coloring – check out the library corner with coloring sheets and pencils for you to use while in the library. Materials are provided by the Friends of the Ocean Shores Library.

The Friends of the Library purchase five copies of each book for members to check out for two weeks. Each month's selection will be available for patrons to borrow from behind the circulation desk. We ask that participants return the book as soon as they can after reading it, so that another member can get a chance to enjoy it. There is no limitation to number of attendees.

If you have any questions regarding the book club, please contact Michelle Traer by email at mtraer@osgov.com or by phone at 360-289-3919.
