(SURF CITY, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch presents "Long Beach Island: A Love Letter" by photographer Charles Gravener from Wednesday, May 1 through Thursday, May 30, 2024. The display and reception are free and open to the public. No registration is required. The library will hold a reception and offer an opportunity to meet the photographer on Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

Charles characterizes his display as captured moments that embody the beauty of life on Long Beach Island, adding that mere words cannot express his gratitude for the memories, mysteries and magic that he experienced while growing up on its sunlit beaches and moonlit streets.

“What you see through this exhibit is an attempt to convey my appreciation through a small collection of my own images and some words spoken from my heart,” he said.

Take a little time to explore, enjoy and rediscover your own love for the beautiful barrier island that, for Charles Gravener and many others, is home.

For more information, stop by the OCL Long Beach Island Branch, 217 South Central Avenue, Surf City, call (609) 494-2480, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
