Welcome Crystal Middleton!
The Board of Trustees of Elting Memorial Library is pleased to announce the hiring of Crystal Middleton as our new Library Director. “After a nationwide search for our new Director, the Board found our ideal candidate very near to New Paltz,” said Richard Heyl de Ortiz, President, continuing, “We are grateful to Hilary Cloos, our Second Vice President, who led the search, and to the board members, library staff and community members who served on the Search Committee.
“The end result is our confidence that Crystal will be a great addition to the staff and a superb leader for our library. We know that she is looking forward to working with our library patrons and the greater New Paltz community,” he added.
Crystal comes to Elting from the Poughkeepsie Public Library District, where she leads the Circulation and Technical Services Departments for three branches and a bookmobile, works on collection development, and improvement of patron experience. Prior to this, Crystal worked in the Stone Ridge and Clinton Community libraries. All three of these libraries are supported by the Mid-Hudson Library System, as is Elting.
Crystal’s first day will be Monday, April 29th. Please feel free to stop by and welcome Elting’s new Director.

Serving New Paltz for Over 100 Years
In 1909, members of the New Paltz Study Club were the first to realize the need for a free library association in the village of New Paltz. Seven women from the club formed a committee and opened a reading room on the second floor of the building at 60-62 Main Street.
The Study Club assumed the expenses and hired Miss Flora Schoonmaker as librarian. When applying for a charter they realized that their location would not meet the standards set by the University of the State of New York. A new, larger, first floor location was found in the building at 68 Main Street.
