Books & More

Your Elting library card connects you to many collections, resources, and services

In addition to the 55,000+ items we house here in New Paltz, we’re part of the Mid-Hudson Library System, a system of 65+ libraries throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley. If we don’t have what you’re looking for we can order it for you and have it here within a few days.
