Digital Resources
Elting Library believes connecting people with the resources they need to improve their lives is important. Today, information comes in many formats, therefore we try to provide many ways to consume that information.
These resources are provided free to the residents of Ulster County through the work of your County Executive, the Ulster County Legislature, and your local library.
