“Mother’s Day” by Kate Sanchez
(LITTLE EGG HARBOR, NJ) -- Throughout the month of June, the Ocean County Library Little Egg Harbor Branch is pleased to display photographs of Southern Ocean County’s natural splendor, and the creatures that inhabit it, by local artist Kate Sanchez.
Kate, the Branch’s Youth Services Librarian, said that she has been smitten with the outdoors since childhood. By high school age, she began to preserve the beauty of her surroundings in photos. Now, each image underscores our delicate ecological balance.
“There’s a sense of tranquility that comes with being in nature,” she said. “Photography allows me to share that feeling with others. It’s a great way to connect with the natural world and appreciate its beauty in a new way.”

With more than a decade of service in the Ocean County Library system and a growing family, Kate keeps a busy daily schedule. Capturing images in serene settings, she said, helps her to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
“We’re lucky to live in a place where there are so many beautiful parks, waterfronts, and trails to explore,” she added. “Nature photography has become a way to connect with nature, bond with my family, and share my passion with others. I hope that through my photos, I can inspire others to appreciate the beauty of nature and take action to protect it for future generations.”
The exhibit is free and open to the public during normal Branch operating hours. No registration is required to view the display.
