The Elting Memorial Library is the main library for 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 section.

The old stone house that originally served as the library has since been added on to, and much of the library's collection and its main circulation desk are housed in this new wing. It has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004.

A week before Halloween in 2007, a possible haunting was disovered. A librarian opening the building in the morning found the door had been left ajar. He reviewed tape from the surveillance camera until he found, at 3:30 a.m., a mysterious smudge moving across the room toward the door. The library staff inspected the camera but could not find any explanation for the smudge.cite news|last=Horrigan|first=Jeremiah|title=Mystery haunts Elting Library|url=http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080325/NEWS/803250312/-1/NEWS|publisher="Times-Herald Record"|date=2008-03-25|accessdate=2008-03-25]
