Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by Vicki Myron
On a freezing morning in January of 1988, librarians in the small town of Spencer, Iowa found a tiny kitten stuffed into the night drop box. The kitten was shivering and starving, but he won the hearts of his rescuers and made the library his permanent home. In Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, Vicki Myron tells his story. Shortly after his arrival a contest was held to name the new cat and he was officially dubbed Dewey Readmore Books. He seemed to be ideally suited for the life of a library cat; he was very tolerant and loved being around people. Dewey seemed to know who needed him the most and did what he could to meet their needs. He was wonderful with children and wasn’t destructive. He became an ambassador for Spencer, Iowa and people came from all over to see this marvelous cat.
I enjoyed this book, but at one point, I thought it got a little bogged down with the author’s medical and family problems. I know some background was necessary, but for a little while, I felt like it steered away from being a story about Dewey to being a story about the author’s difficulties. Thankfully, it got back on track in time for an emotional ending. I think library lovers and animal lovers will enjoy this book.
