Summary

For eight years, the San Francisco neighbourhood of Bernal Heights was mired in controversy. The branch library was being renovated, raising the issue of whether to restore or paint over a thirty-year-old mural on its exterior wall. The Bernal Story recounts how community representatives came to a consensus, and how that agreement was carried into the larger community and implemented.
