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

He was an abandoned kitten - frostbitten, starving, shivering. And about to become world famous.

Dewey Readmore Books was only a few weeks old when he was stuffed into the Spencer Public Library's returned book slot. He immediately won the heart of Library Director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. For the next nineteen years, this library cat never stopped charming the people of this Iowa town with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew, Dewey became the mascot of a farming community fighting the greatest crisis in its long history - and a source of inspiration for people all over the world.
