I love to color - always have. I mourned when my kids grew out of coloring, ending my logical reason for doing so. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the new adult coloring trend. While I have been recently mourning a significant loss, a friend gave me a book of birds and blooms to color. Therapy.

I was pretty pleased to read this post by Naomi Bates at YA Books and More about coloring. On a personal level I am grateful for the links and apps to check out. As a librarian, I am grateful of the suggestions of how to incorporate this trend into my school library. I had a phase for a couple of years where kids came and printed pics and colored. It has passed the library by for a bit, but I love the ideas of printing these pages and cutting them to be used as book marks. I have been toying with very simple ideas to create a maker space atmosphere in the library, and I am sure with some creative thinking I can piggy back on this new coloring trend.
