Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by Vicki Myron
I love cats and libraries, so I was interested in this book. This is a book of a kitty (Dewey) who resided in a small town Iowa library (after being dumped in the book return as a kitten one freezing January night) and how he touched the townspeople's lives, and especially the life of the library director and author. I liked it, but found at times the author's descriptions of how great Dewey was to be annoying and never ending. It was sad when he had to get put to sleep at the very end of the book, but he lived a very long life of 19 years. The book is a quick read.
One aspect of the book that I enjoyed was learning about Iowa culture, and geography, the farming crisis, and corn farming. The book gave me a nice glimpse of life in midwest farm country, and how life changed as farming changed, how the city of Spencer, Iowa grew in the 1990's, but still retainted its close knit community feel.
