Library continues to offer great programs and more  
Mary Lou Carolan holds up a gift from the staff on her last full day at the library.
It's official - Mary Lou Carolan's last day as director of the Wallkill Public Library was Dec. 31. She's now director at the Cornwall Public Library.
Lisa Palmer has been named interim library manager while the library's board of trustees search for a permanent replacement for Mary Lou.
In the meantime, it's business as usual at the library, which means great programming and materials!
Sign up now for Yoga for Kids, coming Jan. 27, and stay tuned for future programs, including a 3-hour Jedi Engineering Academy LEGO event offered by Play-Well Tecknologies!
The Wallkill Public Library will be at Ostrander Elementary School during kindergarten registration to give incoming students a head start on the coming year! Library cards are an essential school supply, and you can sign up now to get one!
As usual, you can still find the latest blockbusters for readers, movie lovers, and audiobook fans on our shelves! Elizabeth (Olive Kitteridge) Strout has a new release available now, and coming out in February are new novels by Debbie Macomber, Harlan Coben, James Patterson, and many more of your favorite writers.
Newly ordered DVDs include Spectre, the latest James Bond installment, Goosebumps, Burnt, and more, just in time for Oscar season!

Library cards an essential school supply 
Registering your little one for kindergarten at Ostrander at the end of the month? Then it's time to get your new student a library card!
A representative from the Wallkill Public Library will be at the school during the hours of registration on at least one out of the three days of the event (Jan. 26, 27, and 28). Look for our table, where you can sign up for a card right then and there and also pick up a calendar and some flyers for upcoming events.
If we're not there the day you are, drop by the circulation desk at the library or register online at your convenience.
Getting your child a card at the library not only opens up a whole new world of books and programming to her, but gives her access to valuable educational online tools like TumbleBooks, BrainPOP Jr., and much more - all for free!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the library at 895-3707 or through our online contact form.
Yoga for Kids healthy break from screens
Wellness, fitness, and sports will be this year's Summer Reading Program themes, and the library will be getting into gear early with a special yoga program!
We're lucky enough to have our very own certified yoga instructor on our staff - Lori Mullooly is a library technician by day and yoga teacher extraordinaire by night. She'll guide ages 8-12 through a series of restorative poses guaranteed to leave participants calm and rejuvenated!
The event takes place at 3:45 p.m. Jan. 27. Sign up now - space is limited!
