Finally, a mostly happy ending to this story about the Livermore library mosaic mural covered with misspellings. The muralist fixed it.

Wearing a broad-brimmed straw hat and working under a tent, she wagged her finger at a television cameraman and threatened to throw a rock at a Chronicle photographer. “No pictures of me!” Alquilar yelled, standing behind a barrier that officials had put up to separate her from the public. “If I’m in it, I’m going to sue you.”

Her blunders netted her another $6000 for the correction job — California state law is very protective of public art, and prohibits its alteration without the artist’s consent.
