The Montauk Library and Amagansett Library have extended their hours of operation.

Montauk patrons have requested more time at the temporary building not only to browse through the books and periodicals but also to take advantage of such things as passport applications and notary public services, copying, scanning, emailing, laminating, and the new self-serve photo printing kiosk. The new hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, 1 to 6 p.m.

In Amagansett, the library is now open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Closing time was previously 5 p.m. It is also now open to patrons on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., instead of the previously offered curbside service on Sunday. The library remains open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday.

Green Giants: Here to Stay?

Long Island’s South Fork, known for beaches, maritime history, and fancy people, is also known for its hedges. Hedge installation and maintenance are big business, and there could be a whole book about hedges, with different varieties popular during different eras. In the last decade, for example, the “green giant,” a now ubiquitous tree, has been placed along property lines throughout the Hamptons. It’s here to stay, and grow, and grow.
