(SURF CITY, NJ) -- "Looking A'Round," a collection of photos taken on Long Beach Island by the late Amelia Stewart, will be on display throughout the month of February at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch. An award-winning elementary school instructor who taught in the Bridgewater-Raritan school system, Amelia became a familiar figure in Ship Bottom during her retirement years. "The Lady with the Camera" could frequently be found strolling the shoreline, searching for captivating images through her lens.

A reception in her honor will take place on Saturday, February 10. The event runs from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. The reception will be a time to enjoy Amy’s creative works and share wonderful memories of a life well-lived. The reception rain date will be February 13th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.

The Ocean County Camera Club and Ocean County Ladies Golf Association member conducted two previous exhibits at the OCL Long Beach Island Branch. Her close friends will stage February’s display.
