Finally, we have a modern and lovely town library with lots of computers and free wi-fi.Most shelves are still vacant though.

The designs look so complicated and challenging.  I was happy before having an ordinary coloring book, this one needs a lot of time before you finish a page. Coloring is a stress-buster.
