“At the heart of the community, the Montauk Library is more than just a place for books—it’s a welcoming space where curiosity, connection, and creativity thrive. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite story, joining a community event, or simply enjoying a peaceful corner by the window, life is brighter at the Montauk Library.“
Denise DiPaolo, Library Director
It could be said that the Montauk Library is on the edge of the world, given its location at the eastern end of Long Island. The library itself is a beautiful building with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a newer library that began with an idea in 1980. It opened in a small building on the property of Montauk Community Church and moved to its current location in 1982 when the residents of Montauk voted to purchase 2.5 acres for the site of a new library building. The library includes an archives of local history where they have gathered oral histories of Montauk which are accessible in their New York Heritage Collections and their own archives page.
