Since 1985, Cayucos artist Peter Ladochy’s mosaic mural has adorned the west wall of the Morro Bay Library. This 625-square-foot mural depicts scenes of local history, flora, and fauna against a background of ocean waters and verdant hillsides. Time and the elements have taken their toll and many of the 125,000 one-inch square tiles that comprise the work are in disrepair. The Morro Bay Friends of the Library will work tirelessly on restoring the mural through July 31. Info and donations: morrobayfriendsoflibrary.org.
