Since August 2016, the Wheelock Branch of Tacoma Public Library has provided a large tabletop coloring sheet and has invited patrons of all ages to take a moment from their hectic schedule to just sit and color. Some studies have shown that coloring (regardless of age) has therapeutic potential to reduce anxiety, create focus, and lower blood pressure.
New coloring pages come out every two weeks and the previous coloring page is displayed at the circulation desk for all to admire. So please take a moment to stop by the Wheelock Branch and do a little coloring, plus, maybe meet the staff and check out our collection while you are at it.
