Known for his ability to bring literary narratives to life, Barry McCallion combines fine art with written works to create a deeply immersive and at times introspective experience. Blending whimsy with absolute precision, McCallion uses a wide range of mediums and collages to deepen the emotional impact of each piece. McCallion describes how “the visual book involves you in time” to create a sense of anticipation and memory.

Our call to artists will be happening in February so stay tuned for details!

March Madness 2026 is open to Springs Artists & Members of the Springs Historical Society

​

Exhibition: March 9th - 31st at the Springs Community Library

​

To participate, email artinsprings@gmail.com 
 

Subject Line: March Madness

​Most of us had grandparents we knew, or felt we knew through family stories, or had surrogate grandparents and many of us were impacted by these people. Good.  Bad.  Happy.  Sad. Funny.  Not so funny.

​

Let’s start the new year looking back on some of the people who helped shape our lives. We all have a story to tell. Even if it’s a sentence or two.

​

​There may not be an artist this coming month, but I am hopeful that we’ll all be able to create wonderful images of our past through the memories of our grandparents.  This will be horseshoe seating, and casual conversation.

So, start collecting memories, folks.  They touched our lives in ways we may not even know and only understand in the retelling of their stories. Nostalgia is a good thing.

Threads of Kindness … from Springs Library Stitch & Bitch Group

 

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the SHS/CL the Stitch and Bitch Needlework Group proudly donated more than 50 handmade items - including crochet and knitted scarves, hats and mittens to the Springs Food Pantry to be shared with our community this winter.

​

Each item was labeled "Threads of kindness - Springs Library Volunteers" highlighting the spirit of the giving behind this project. The Yarn used to create these gifts was generously donated by our Library members and friends.

​

Many thanks to everyone who contributed yarn, completed projects and offered support for this warm and meaningful holiday initiative..

​The Springs Historical Society and Community Library in East Hampton, has a weekly Mahjong program on Wednesday afternoons where Mahjong is much more than just a game!!! Every one of our Mahjong games is a learning experience for each player. Our program at the Springs Library does not require advanced reservations to play. The program is open to all who show up, want to learn the game and enjoy playing at tables with mixed level players.

Membership at the Library is not required. We do have a maximum limit of 20 players at any given time. 

Led by Lynn McVeigh
 

The group will be discussing “Dissolution” by C. J. Sansom.
 

High praise was given to “The Hunter” by Tana French with some suggestions that the prequel, “The Searcher” be read first. So if you are in search of  a new author to explore, check out Tana French’s novels-available at the library.

Sign up is at the library or email em1@nyu.edu​
