Coloring for Adults: Islamic Patterns

Visitors to Qatar National Library will be able to engage in activities highlighting the topic of faith during the month of May, which will also see the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. They will also host a ‘Colouring for Adults’ event at Education City on 15th May.

The new hobby, which is taking the world by storm, is just like meditation. Coloring allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to reduce anxiety, create focus and increase our mindfulness.

There is also a workshop organized on May 16: ‘Clay Art: Islamic Art’ which will show participants how they can use clay to create Islamic art. With the focus on faith during the month of May, the library will use storytelling to present the community with unique aspects of Islamic history.

The Science Book Forum will hold its monthly session on May 12. The lecture, ‘Dust Storms from Mars and Titan to Qatar’, will explore the origin and evolution of dust storms, and how they have shaped Qatar’s landscape and environment.


As part of QNL’s function as a metropolitan public library, they not only seek to deliver library services for everyone in Qatar to enjoy reading, but they also want to help enhance community spirit.
