Library offers coloring, rural heritage programs

Seniors are invited to an adult coloring program Tuesday at the Colfax Library, 102 S. Main Street, that’s part of Coffee, Cookies and Coloring.

The free program is funded by the Empire Health Foundation in partnership with the Whitman County Library.

Studies show that adult coloring helps maintain cognitive skills while providing valuable stress relief and a creative outlet. Add a social setting with coffee and cookies and the benefits increase.

On Feb. 24, the same partnership is offering Whitman County seniors a rural heritage program in Colfax at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 321 S. Main Street.

The 1 p.m. presentation on local history takes place after the weekly senior meal that starts at noon.

For more information on either program, call Sarah McKnight at the Whitman County Library at (509) 397-4366.
