National Adult Coloring Book Day

By Dianna Dilworth 

Taking advantage of the popularity of adult coloring books, 12 indie bookstores across the country are throwing “coloring book parties for adults” on Tuesday, August 2.

Publisher Thunder Bay Press is behind the effort. The company hand selected the book stores based on their selling a lot of adult coloring books. Anderson’s Bookshop and Changing Hands Bookstore are among the participating stores.

The publisher is donating coloring kits to these stores to support the events. Kits include free coloring book samples, colored pencils, event-themed magnets and signage. The publisher is promoting the events through a social media campaign.
