Wednesday will be the last day of this session of the Magic Tree House Book Club at Ostrander Elementary.
The Wallkill Public Library program will start anew with its third installment on Jan. 14. The books featured during that session will be Revolutionary War on Wednesday and Abe Lincoln at Last. As usual, students will read the popular Mary Pope Osborne books and participate in activities specially designed by Wallkill Public Library children's coordinator Carolyn Thorenz to reinforce the historical  lessons and other material contained in the books. The program will again take place on Wednesdays, from 3-5 p.m., and will run through Feb. 18.
The Magic Tree House Book Club is a literacy program offered at Ostrander by the Wallkill Public Library. It was made possible by a grant the library received from Target.
