Get your coloring fix
Did you know that coloring is one of the hottest stress busters for adults? Well, it is. And thanks in part to a grant from Riverside Township, you can find out why during “Keep Calm and Color,” in the public meeting room at the Riverside Public Library, 1 Burling Road, at 7 p.m.
Get your creative juices flowing. Coloring pages, colored pencils, pens and crayons will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. The event, which is free to attend, is for patron ages 16 and older.
