Check Out Those Toys

Tue, 05/03/2022 - 11:35

Patrons of the Montauk Library can now add children's toys, puzzles, and games to the list of books, movies, and other materials that can be borrowed.

In response to a suggestion from a family of longtime Montauk visitors, the new "Toy Library" will primarily serve children ages 3 to 12. Puzzles can be borrowed for three weeks, while other games and toys — including the very popular Magna Tiles — will be available for three days at a time.

"The hope is not only to give the community access to games they may not have played otherwise, but also to facilitate play," the library said in an announcement.

Now that its major construction and renovation project is complete, more in-person programs are being added back into the library's calendar of events. Information on programs and services can be found at montauklibrary.org.
