Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron

4.0

---

As a librarian, I knew I had to read it as soon as I saw the title. Now that I'm finished, I'm glad I did. Although I was a little put off by the Iowa worship, I can't blame anyone for being proud of their town, region, and state. As for the library cat, having worked in a public library (rather large) and a small library (special/academic), I could really empathize with the issues the author talks about and the feeling that the library is some place special. The author made me care about her, her family, and of course, Dewey, so the ending really made me a bit weepy. Great job!
