Coloring is more than being creative, it’s a very relaxing activity that has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety.
Each week we’ll be coloring a new mandala design, while also enjoying a good round of conversation. You can use the mandala design we’ve selected or download free designs of your choice from the link below.
You don’t have to have a degree in art to participate…just some paper and color pencils.
Please join us. Relax and connect with like-minded people, and add a burst of color to your day!
All supplies will be provided.
The Pawling Library is proud to be partnering with Pawling Recreation.
Teachers say that the skills that lead to the most student success in school are their social and emotional skills. Join us to help develop these skills, all while children play! This supervised hour of fun provides a large space for children to meet and play, either inside or out, depending on the weather. This program is designed to ease the transition to daycare, preschool, and especially kindergarten and is paid for in part by Dutchess County.

“The Family Plot, by Linda McCauley Freeman, pulses with life. Poems rich in sense detail portray one American girlhood, one American family, in all of its joy and its sorrow. McCauley Freeman understands that joy and sorrow often coexist inside one moment, and that this moment lives on, like ‘one of those [souvenir] photos/vendors take without asking, then charge you to keep.’ One poem recalls a father bursting into his boisterous sons’ locked room: ‘the hinges popped/and our father became for a moment//Aladdin, riding the door to the floor/in a flash of dust.’ Likewise, The Family Plot arrives on the poetry scene, and not a minute too soon.”
