Publisher's note

Traces the author's discovery of a half-frozen kitten in the drop-box of her small-community Iowa library and the feline's development into an affable library mascot whose intuitive nature prompted hundreds of abiding friendships, in a tale told against a backdrop of the town's struggles with the 1980s farm crisis.

Annotation

On a cold winter night in 1988, Vicky Myron, the director of the Spencer Public Library in Spencer, Iowa, discovered something unusual in the library’s book drop--a kitten. Moved by the state of the frostbitten eight-week-old, Myron adopted the young cat as the library’s mascot and gave him a home among the stacks. Named "Dewey Readmore Books," the cat became a local (and eventually worldwide) celebrity. Through Myron’s anecdotes about Dewey’s 19 years of library service, she describes how he touched the lives of many he met--and particularly how he gave endless comfort to the residents of an agricultural community struggling to stay afloat in the midst of the "farm crisis" of the 1980s.

What a magical story. Witter draws you into her personal life and her tight knit community. It is intoxicating for cat lovers, but even if you are not one, you cant help but realize that some higher power was working through this wonderful cat.
