Meet Photography Artist Nancy Gallagher at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch

SURF CITY – The Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch is pleased to feature an exhibit of nature scenes captured by local photographer Nancy Gallagher. Birds and More will be on display in the branch’s meeting room throughout the month of May.

Join Nancy and learn about her methods of capturing and preserving scenes of life in the wild during her photography reception from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 9.

A career teacher of 31 years’ standing, Nancy settled in Barnegat after retirement. She joined the Southern Ocean Birding Group after spotting an item in the Sand Paperand learning that the club not only has interesting meetings but also takes field trips.

Nancy knew little about birds but found the nature walks very appealing. She also was a novice with a camera, but bought one to help her identify the birds she saw. Soon she joined a photography club in Toms River and improved her skills.

The exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. No registration is required. For more information, call 609-494-2480, or stop by the branch at 217 South Central Ave., Surf City. See the full schedule of library programs in the online Calendar of Events.
