How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one
cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform
a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually
become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer
those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Readmore
Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa.
Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks
old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the
returned book slot at the Spencer 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.
As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state, and
finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a
friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland
farming town pulling its way slowly back from the greatest crisis
in its long history.
