Antique Coloring Book Exhibit Set Up At Moorestown Library

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Antique coloring books are now on display in the vestibule at the Moorestown Library. They are presented by William and Carole Lokan-Moore, who describe themselves as old school teachers who love to educate folks on the importance of coloring books.

“Not only do they entertain, but they also educate, by finding Historic places, towns, locations, scenic events, all are in coloring books to inform the reader as they color,” Carole Lokan-Moore said. “The physical aspect of holding a crayon, and staying within the lines, is an age-old custom, from kindergarteners to seniors who have disabilities and post stroke victims. So coloring books provide benefits for all members of the family.”

The display also includes collectible Crayola Crayon boxes. The books represent a life of travel around the world, as indicated by many historic places drawn in the coloring books.

Carole Lokan-Moore, is the newly published author of "350 Farm Animal Stores," written first person, in the last three years, right here in Burlington County.

“Around Town With Carole On Whitebriar Farms” is a two book glossy "coffee table book" of soothing, encouraging, informative, and delightful easy read short stories, of day to day life on the farm, as they happen.

The Moorestown Library is located at 111 West Second Street, adjacent to town hall.
