Back when Montauk was chill more than just 4 mos out of the year 😇
Did you know? Before the Montauk Library opened in 1980, in a cottage on the Montauk Community Church property, locals checked out their books from a bookmobile! The University of the State of New York brought its traveling library to town twice a month, and residents could borrow books for up to four weeks.
