Elting Memorial Library
The Elting Memorial Library is the public library that serves the residents of the village and town of New Paltz, New York. It is located at 93 Main Street (also NY 32 and 299) in the village's downtown area. In addition to an impressive collection typical of most college town libraries, Elting's Haviland Heidgerd Historical Collection features "house books" that detail the history of local homes and buildings, including historic structures. Elting gained notoriety in 2007 for a videotaped ghost visit that became the most popular online video about New Paltz.
==History==
Originally called the ''New Paltz Free Library,'' the library was founded by the New Paltz Study Club in 1909, and outgrew its space on lower Main Street by 1919. Native son and summer resident Philip Lefevre Elting purchased the "Old Elting Homestead" for library use in 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Elting Library ) 〕
The old stone house was originally called the Solomon Eltinge House〔 〕 after its original owner and builder, and was part of the expansion of New Paltz from its original settlement on Huguenot Street. One of the earliest buildings on Main Street, it was erected around the same time as the Village of New Paltz was incorporated, and its location made it convenient for it to become a library in 1920.
The original building, considered the "final gasp of stone house architecture" in the area,〔 had new wings added on in 1962 and 1978, and was expanded again in 2006 (during which the bulk of the library's collection was relocated to temporary storage facilities). This expansion cost approximately $2.5 million, and much of the library's collection and its main circulation desk are housed in this most recent addition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Estimated New York State Public Library Construction Needs Profiles 2006 )〕 It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004. It is located within the New Paltz Downtown Historic District.
