PAUL SMITHS - Adirondack panoramas and other photographs by Barry Lobdell are on display at the Joan Weill Adirondack Library until Nov. 15.

Lobdell, a Saranac Lake resident, has won local, regional and national acclaim for his work. In 2003, he was the first recipient of the Barbara Johnson Parnass Art in Public Spaces Program Prize in Saranac Lake, and also won Best in Show/Purchase Prize in the North Country Regional Juried Art Show at the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam.

His work has been shown in galleries in several states, and has also appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe and Palm Beach Post. Lobdell is a member of the Adirondack Artists Guild in Saranac Lake, where his work is regularly displayed. Lobdell's Web site is www.barrylobdell.com.

The exhibition is free and open to the public. Hours: Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sunday, 1 p.m.-10 p.m.

The Joan Weill Adirondack Library, which opened in 2002, is an award-winning
structure that commands sweeping views of Lower St. Regis Lake.

At Paul Smith’s College, it’s about the experience. The college, whose
campus is on the shores of Lower St. Regis Lake, is the only four-year
institution of higher education in the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park of New
York State. Our programs, in fields including hospitality, culinary arts,
forestry, natural resources, entrepreneurship, the sciences, and many
others, draw on industries and resources available in our own backyard while
preparing students for successful careers anywhere.
