Last year the Hour of Code introduced millions of students to an hour of introductory computer science, and the amazing thing is - they loved it!
Computer programming is not only an under-taught subject in most schools - it's also a lucrative career that's predicted to grow much faster than the amount of applicants qualified to fill its job openings.
This year the Wallkill Public Library is participating in the Hour of Code, providing ages 10 and up with the opportunity to learn basic programming skills while writing their own Angry Birds game. The program will take place at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11. Space is limited, so sign up soon - either online or at the library.   

Adults and children of all ages will be able to craft their own special holiday greetings during the Dec. 10 Family Card-Making Party.
Get creative and make your holiday wishes extra special with your own homemade design. Door prizes and refreshments will also be offered. The event will be held in the community room of Town Hall, so everyone will have plenty of room to work on their projects!
RSVP by Dec. 8 by registering either online or at the library.

Animal lovers will be thrilled to know that uber-popular wildlife expert Bill Robinson will be returning for a visit on Jan. 17!
Join us at 1 p.m. that day in the community room of Town Hall as Bill shares his expertise on animals' adaptations for survival and the importance of local wildlife. Included in the presentation will be live hawks, owls, snakes, lizards, and more.

Brenda Griffin's Girl Scout Troop 60226 has taken down their StoryWalk from the hamlet's rail trail.
The stakes for the next StoryWalk, which will be put up in the spring, will remain in the ground to save the girls some time and effort come the warmer weather. So if you're cross-country skiing the trail this winter and notice them, they do have a purpose.
StoryWalk is an initiative to build children's literacy by posting laminated pages of published children's stories along popular walking routes. Keep an eye out for the Girl Scouts' latest in a few months!

Holiday carols, kids' crafts, and a visit from Santa will be among the main events featured during Sunday's annual town tree-lighting ceremony.
The program begins at 4 p.m. at Shawangunk Town Hall.
A food drive for the local pantry will also be held during the ceremony, so any donations of non-perishables would be appreciated.
