MONTICELLO – The Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library in Monticello, NY is celebrating serving the community for 90 years on Saturday, September 19^th from 1pm - 3pm. Part of that celebration includes a rededication of the plaque commemorating the 143^rd Civil War Regiment in Sullivan County.  That plaque was placed on the base of the flagpole at the original library location back in the 1930s. The plaque has since been refurbished and installed on the flagpole at the new library.

Descendants of members of the 143rd Regiment are invited to join the celebration. Please contact the library by email at langclouse@rcls.org or by phone (845)794-4660 x7 if you're interested in sharing memories about your ancestor and their military service to this country in the Civil War.
