This is a pretty reliable source, and it was correct last year.
The Clintons rent in East Hampton
Bill and Hillary return to Elie Hirschfeld’s house for the second year in a rowAugust 10, 2012 12:00PM

The presidential race is heating up, but Bill and Hillary Clinton are taking some time out to relax in the Hamptons.
The political power couple has rented an East Hampton house owned by real estate mogul Elie Hirschfeld and will be staying there for the whole month of August, The Real Deal has learned.
The Clintons rented the house, at 211 Lily Pond Lane, for a week last year during Hurricane Irene. Their longer stay this year will include the former president’s 66th birthday on August 19th. The vacation precedes the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, where Bill Clinton is slated to give a speech on September 3rd.
LOL! The library comment. Mr. President, it's a vacation! You're supposed to rest! Have fun! Take your beautiful wife out for dinner and dancing!
We had heard that the speech was scheduled for September 5, but maybe it has been moved. At any rate, with almost half of the month of August elapsed, we hope Mme. Secretary went straight to her summer rental upon return from her extensive farewell tour of Africa over the past two weeks. She always manages to look so fresh and beautiful no matter how grueling the schedule, and she appeared to have had a lot of fun in some of the countries she visited, but still, she needs a break since very little of her travel time consists of partying and relaxing. Most of her travel hours on the ground are spent in difficult diplomatic negotiations, some in very dangerous places. We are joyful that she is safely home and wish her fair weather and a lovely vacation with her family and friends.
We also wish President Clinton a very happy 66th birthday and the best of luck with his speech. We wish he were nominating the Secretary of State, however.
