  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.
