Coloring is no longer just for kids. Professionals agree that coloring can lower stress and help unleash creativity.  Come in and enjoy a moment for yourself,  away  from the madness of the holiday season.  Take some time to relieve stress with some coloring, some Legos and a cup of coffee.  Sorry kids, this is for adults only!!  Drop in any time
between 1 pm and 4 pm, Sunday, December 20.

Come to Cable TV Alternatives class on Wednesday at 7 pm.  OGLE EAR+ ICAL EXPORT
 Help reuse and repurpose old book pages on Tuesday at 7 pm.  Make one-of-a-kind book buttons from book pages.  They make great gifts for friends and family!  For grades 4 though 12.  We supply all the material, all you have to do is create!
 
Do holiday celebrations sabotage your healthy eating habits?  Learn how to maintain a healthful diet during the holidays and keep the pounds off with Registered Dietitian MaryRose Agel from the Spotswood ShopRite.  Wednesday, at 7 pm.
