The mission of the Ellenville Public Library & Museum is to provide resources, services and public programming of the highest possible quality to meet the ongoing informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs of our broadly diverse community.  EPL&M  is committed to preserving the past while pursuing technological innovations with which to best serve the current and future needs of our patrons and visitors.

Ellenville Public Library & Museum can trace its history to the spring of 1893,  when it was organized as a school district library. Beginning with a collection of 1,000 books, the library has grown in size and stature, serving today as the informational and cultural center of our community. Currently, Ellenville Public Library & Museum is proud to serve over 20,000 patrons in the Ellenville School District and the Towns of Wawarsing and Rochester.
