RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 191865523 LA English T1 Dewey : the small-town library cat who touched the world A1 Myron, Vicki., Witter, Bret., PB Grand Central Pub. PP New York YR 2008 SN 9780446407410 0446407410 9780446407427 0446407429 AB The charming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa. The story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat, starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the book return slot at the Spencer, Iowa, Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most.--From publisher description.
