Parking

The library parking lot is located on the corner of North Front Street and Church Street. Library visitors are welcome to park for free in our lot for as long as they are at the library.

Dear New Paltz Community,

We understand that the Village of New Paltz has limited parking; however, the Elting Memorial Library must reserve our parking for library patrons. We courteously ask the community to refrain from parking at the library unless they are utilizing our services.

We receive constant complaints from our users that they are unable to find available parking in our lot. Upon comparing the number of patrons in the library to the number of vehicles in the lot, we continually find a significant discrepancy. Complaints have also been issued from our neighbors regarding late evening gatherings on library property.

These are serious issues that must be addressed immediately. We will be strictly enforcing our Parking Lot Use and Patron Code of Conduct policies to help remedy this situation. Keep in mind that failure to comply with our policies will result in the towing of unauthorized vehicles at the owner’s expense.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
