Hamptons Dad Adventures: The Bridgehampton Library

David Lion Rattinerby David Lion Rattiner
in Kids, Trending
Home Kids

From the outside, the Bridgehampton Library looks kind bland. As you walk down main street in Bridgehampton, your charmed the façade of Pierre’s, but as you pass the library you don’t feel like you have must walk inside and check it out. 

 

But you would be VERY mistaken. 

 

On a random encounter at Java nation, I ran into an employee of the library who recommended I take my 2 year old daughter there. “She will love it, just walk in through the back.”

 

We headed over to the library and then walked a path to the back where kids where playing on the grass. Immediately, we were greeted by a woman named Ms. T, who was full of energy and smiles. “Welcome to the library! Come and join us!” 

 

Behind the Hampton Library is a little bit of Hamptons kid heaven. There are toys, there are books and there is Ms. T, who is more than happy to do a reading circle with the kids that are there, all of whom were entirely captivated. There is plenty of space to play and the staff is extremely helpful. 

 

I don’t know how I missed it, but I’m glad that I’ve found it. The Hampton Library in Bridgehampton is an absolute gem of a place for parents looking for the answer to the questions, “Where should we go today?”

10th Annual Katy’s Courage 5K

10th Annual Katy's Courage 5K

  • Pitch Your Peers (PYP) Hamptons Chapter, a philanthropy initiative, awarded two local non-profits at its 3rd annual Pitch Day on October 25th at Scoville Hall in Amagansett. Philanthropic women from the community are the driving force behind PYP The Hamptons. They identify and champion local non-profits that qualify for its annual collective grant. The grant pool for 2025 was $60,000. ⁠
⁠
PYP Members identified and pitched local organizations to be considered for their grant on Pitch Day on October 25th. Members voted, and this year’s first-place award of $50,000 was presented to The Retreat, while a second-place award of $10,000 was presented to Share the Harvest Farm. ⁠

  • What began as a shared dream between two young farming apprentices has grown into a year-round nonprofit that feeds, teaches, and welcomes thousands of people each season. Today, co-founders Amanda Merrow and Katie Baldwin continue to nurture the land while carrying out their mission to educate and inspire through food and farming.⁠
⁠
From securing ownership of their farmland to expanding their programs, opening a year-round market, and welcoming visitors to explore the property, Amber Waves has become an essential piece of the East End’s agricultural and cultural landscape. Amanda and Katie spoke about their journey, the mission that continues to guide them, and the vision behind one of the most meaningful community-driven farms on Long Island.⁠
⁠
What core mission drives the farm today, and how has that mission evolved since the beginning?⁠
⁠
Amanda & Katie: We met in 2008 while completing a farming apprenticeship at Quail Hill Farm where we both discovered our shared love of farming. By that July, we were already dreaming up ways to continue farming together in Amagansett. When we founded Amber Waves Farm, our vision was to build something greater than ourselves—something that would outlive us. Our original idea, the “Amagansett Wheat Project,” grew out of a daydream to create a “pizza farm,” and our name, Amber Waves, pays homage to grain production—a line from the song “America the Beautiful”. From the beginning, we chose to be a nonprofit because our mission—to teach and connect people through food and farming—has always been at the heart of what we do.⁠

  • Philanthropist, TV host, author and longtime supporter and chairwoman of the Viennese Opera Ball Jean Shafiroff hosted and underwrote a reception with over 100 guests at her New York residence to officially kick off the 70th Annual Viennese Opera Ball, one of New York’s oldest and most prestigious white-tie galas celebrating Austrian culture, diplomacy, and the enduring friendship between Austria and the United States.⁠
⁠
“The Viennese Opera Ball represents elegance, culture, and the timeless beauty of the arts,” said Jean Shafiroff. “It is a privilege to host this gathering in celebration of its 70th year as we honor tradition while supporting the next generation of artistic excellence. As a past honoree and chairwoman, I look forward to the 70th Anniversary Gala and am excited to chair it once again.”⁠

  • On Saturday, December 13th, Heart of the Hamptons held its highly anticipated 22nd Annual Polar Bear Plunge at the famous Cooper’s Beach in Southampton. Nearly 300 participants cheered along with the countdown before plunging into the Atlantic Ocean.⁠
⁠
Some sported Santa hats, Santa overalls, team shirts, and of course, this year’s iconic Polar Bear Plunge cap or beanie. The plunge drew a crowd of over 600 people and raised over $350,000. ⁠
⁠
Heart of the Hamptons’ Executive Director Molly Bishop said, “The feeling of support and togetherness was so appreciated by the staff and volunteers at HOH. We’ve had a challenging year adjusting to the increased need for our help, and knowing we have this type of support behind us means everything! Thank you to everyone who came out!” ⁠
