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.

L.V.I.S. Fair Is Set for Saturday

The Ladies Village Improvement Society’s annual fair happens on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this year’s “is bigger than ever,” the society says. Not only will the carousel be back, but the Playland area for kids will be expanded. There will be face painting, a roving magician, a bubble artist, and pony rides for the little ones.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
