On a freezing morning in 1988, Spencer Public Library director Vicki Myron discovered a tiny, bedraggled kitten abandoned in the library’s night drop box. She adopted the cat and named him Dewey Readmore Books, and for 19 years, Dewey lived at the library and grew into a strutting, affable cat that brought smiles to patrons’ faces. A #1 New York Times Best Seller, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, is Myron’s memoir of her loyal feline companion and how he became a beacon of hope for the struggling small town of Spencer, Iowa.
