The Tudor Book Shop, 651 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston, will be hosting a children's program on the Luzerne County Historical Society's new publication, "Coloring the Pieces of Luzerne County" on Saturday, March 13 at 1:00 p.m.  Christina Galchefski, a junior at Wyoming Valley West High School will present this coloring book, explaining her ideas that led up to this publication.

"Coloring the Pieces of Luzerne County" is a collection of drawings of various sites found within Luzerne County.  The illustrations were drawn by young students of local artist, Sue Hand.  A description of each illustration is found on each page.   Not only is this book entertaining for children, it is also educational.
