THE STORY OF THE MURAL
The West wall of the Library features a unique glass
tile mosaic designed especially for our building. Funded
by area clubs and a grant from the San Luis Obispo
County Arts Council, the colorful mural was designed by
artist Peter Ladochy of Cayucos. Labor for the project
was volunteered by some 100 community members under
the direction of Ladochy. Citizen involvement ranged from
choosing the mosaic's theme, to planning, assembling and
mounting the finished artwork. Composed of 125,000 one
inch square pieces of glass, the 650 square foot mural
depicts the history and environs of Morro Bay. A native
Chumash Indian, early explorer Juan Cabrillo and mission-
aries are pictured along the modern-day city of Morro
Bay against a backdrop of blue water and green hills.
Native flora and fauna, including a peregrine falcon
and sea otter, are woven in.

Library Volunteers
Hats off to our library volunteers. We are so blessed
to have book shelving volunteers who spend some 150
hours per month, cheerfully and tirelessly, putting books
back on the shelves in their proper places. Computer
systems are great for keeping track of library books, but
they just can't replace the human form when it comes to
keeping our books accurately shelved. These 13 active
volunteers are helping out at the rate of one full-time paid
library employee. Care to take a guess at how many pounds
(tons?) of books per year these volunteers lift? Their help
during this computer system changeover is especially appreciated.
We also have 4 Internet docents who are helping customers use our
computers. We simply could not do without them. Let's give a great
big round of applause to our Volunteers.
