Coloring for Adults
Monday, April 23 - 6:00pm | Room C
Coloring is an activity we think of as being for kids. However, it can be beneficial for adults.
Coloring helps us de-stress because when we focus on a particular activity, we focus on it and not on our worries. Coloring generates wellness, quietness and also stimulates brain areas related to motor skills, the senses and creativity.
Coloring sheets and colored pencils will be provided. Adults only, please.
Golda Meir: The Journey Home Portrayed by Historical Impressionist, Jessica Michna
Tuesday, April 24 - 10:00am | DeForest Area Community & Senior Center
How does a girl born in the Ukraine, and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, travel a path that will lead her to become Prime Minister of Israel?
This informative, entertaining program, developed by Jessica Michna, explores that rather circuitous route. What roadblocks and detours were thrown in Golda's way and how did she overcome them? The journey is a fascinating one, filled with joy, sorrow, seriousness and humor. Let Golda, as portrayed by Ms. Michna, tell you in her own words.
Co-sponsored by the Library, the Center, and the DeForest Area Historical Society.
This program is part of the Library’s outreach programming. It is free and open to everyone in the community.
If you have a disability and require accommodation in order to fully participate, please contact library staff.
