Pets of the past and writing tips will be the subjects of two free talks, one on famous pets on May 21 at the Cinnaminson Library, the other on writing the same day at Burlington County Library's Westampton headquarters. The discussion on writing, which will begin at 7 p.m., is being sponsored by the International Women's Writing Guild. Insuk Granholm, a member of the guild, will also lead a writing exercise. The program is free but registration is requested.

Guests can bring photos and stories about their own pets.
