drop. A book drop is the small metal door in the wall of the
building here people can return books when the library is
closed. No one knows who put the kitten there or why. But it
turned out to be lucky for both the kitten and the town.
The library held a contest to name the cat. The winning
name was Dewey Readmore Books. Library officials agreed to permit
him to live in the building. Dewey loved to keep people company while
they chose books or used the library computer. Soon, Dewey’s presence began attracting families and school groups to the library.
The local newspaper wrote about the new library cat. His story spread across the nation. Dewey began receiving letters from people in other countries. And a film crew from Japan arrived to include him in a movie about cats.
Head librarian Vicki Myron was Dewey's main caretaker. Last year, she published the best-selling book “Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World.” Here she gives readers an idea of how much the cat meant to her town.
READER:
“How much of an effect can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library into a meeting place and tourist attraction, inspire a classic American town, bring together an entire region and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa.”
