Fifty-six submissions by photographers who live or work in Lafayette will be displayed in the gallery of the Community Hall of the Lafayette Library and Learning Center Sept. 9 through Nov. 12. From views of quintessential landmarks like Johnny's Donuts to the Round Up to the Reservoir and way beyond, creative kids and adults sought out images that symbolize the contest name, "A day in the life of Lafayette." All the photos were taken during the longest day of the year, June 21. The Lafayette Public Art Committee reviewed all of the entries and after much deliberation selected five for jurors' awards and five for honorable mention. "We're very pleased with the turnout for our first year," said Lindy Chan, senior planner. "We hope to do it again next year." Open hours for the lobby of the Community Hall are limited to when the building is open for public meetings - every Monday night from 7 p.m. forward, but check with library staff to inquire about other times.
