Tuesdays 3-4 pm, September 4 to October 30 – #ColebrookNHRocks Join us for rock painting and make the world a better place one rock at a time! At Colebrook Public Library, we LOVE to paint creative, cheerful, inspiring rocks that get hidden around town. We invite those lucky folks who find our rocks to take a quick picture, share it on our #ColebrookNHRocks Facebook page, and re-hide the rock so that someone else might find it. Our rocks have traveled far and wide around the world. New for this fall: a rock painting kit you can borrow and bring home for one week!
