John Manchester
Jack Manchester's aerial photographs reflect his combined interest in aviation and photography. He has been interested in photography since boyhood, and has been a licensed pilot for over 30 years. He owns a 1950 Cessna 140A aircraft, which he flies to take all of his aerial photographs.
Jack has been active in aerial photography for over 20 years, specializing in Cape Cod area seascapes, and custom aerial photographs for residential and commercial clients. He is past-president and a current member of the Brockton Camera Club. His photographs have been exhibited at the Brockton Public Library, Stonehill College Library and the Bridgewater Public Library.
Jack's aerial slide presentation of Cape Cod and the Islands has been well received at many South Shore area organizations and libraries. He has taught photography classes at the East Bridgewater Evening Practical Arts Program. His aerial photographs have been published in Cape Cod Life and several other magazines.
Jack is a resident of East Bridgewater. His presentation is funded by the Friends of the Bridgewater Public Library.

An Afternoon Showcase for your artistic/creative talents
Are you a Martha Stewart, Debbie Mumm or Norm Abram? The Friends of the Bridgewater Public Library is looking for people who would like to showcase their artistic or creative talents. In conjunction with resources available through the Bridgewater Public Library, we would like to create an afternoon showcase of arts and crafts, i.e. foods, soapmaking, yarn or fabric crafts, painting, photography, woodworking, needlework, rugmaking, scrapbooking, jewelry making, etc. , for viewing by library and community members. If you might like to participate, please contact Jean Guarino at 508-279-1466.
A date has not yet been set, but we are trying for a spring event.

We also thank the Ousamequin Club for a recent donation to purchase books in memory of Ruth Bishop and Ethel Barry.
Annual Report of the Library Trustees -- 2004
This past year was filled with challenges and obstacles.
The Trustees and the staff worked diligently to provide the best possible
services to the townspeople under serious budget restrictions.
The Trustees unanimously voted to support the resolution to review the
"Patriot Act" as it has impact on the privacy rights of our patrons.
In a similar resolution, the Trustees voted to have the Fourth Amendment
to the Constitution placed on the wall in the reference area.
The Board is committed to encourage knowledge of our freedoms.
As always, I am grateful to our staff and director, and my fellow
Trustees for all their hard work and commitment to the Town of Bridgewater.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith W. Gabriel, Chairman
