For fans of John Grogan's "Marley and Me" and for book and cat-lovers across the globe, meet Dewey, Spencer Iowa's library
cat. Dewey's story can be read and treasured by men and women of all ages, ethnicities amd backgrounds. Dewey's story begins when a librarian opening her branch early one cold January morning hears a mewing sound coming from the library book drop box. She opens the box to find a stranded, freezing kitten inside. So begins the saga of Dewey Readmore Books (aptly named for the Dewey decimal system), who through his tenure as Spencer's resident library cat will earn his keep by becoming indispensible to the library patrons--soothing those in pain, befriending the lonely, and ultimately inspiring not only this small Iowa town but the world community to embrace the importance of libraries, literacy and community.
