The Montauk Library will be closed through Feb. 17 for repaving of the parking lot and to give the employees time to install furniture and equipment and move collections, shelving, and supplies from the temporary library back into the newly expanded and renovated main library building. A soft opening of the building is planned for Feb. 18.

In the meantime, library patrons with online access can always visit livebrary.com to borrow e-books, e-audio books, and e-magazines, and to stream movies.

On Feb. 18, the library will begin offering AARP tax return assistance for senior citizens. Appointments are required at 631-668-3377.

Really, really big.
