The Springs Library has announced two writing workshops. Shelby Raebeck, the author of two novels, a short-story collection, and a play, will lead a fiction-writing workshop that will begin on Sept. 19 and continue through October, with meetings held at the library from 5 to 6 p.m. The cost is $250, and more information can be had by emailing [email protected].

Barbara Ascher, a former columnist for The New York Times and the author of a number of nonfiction books, will teach a course in memoir writing on Sunday afternoons from 4 to 5 for six weeks starting Oct. 20. The course, limited to 10 people, will be free for members of the hamlet's historical society.

The library will also host a story time for children from birth to age 3 with a caregiver on Fridays this month.

More information on all programs is at 631-324-3165.
