Dewey is the heartwarming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa, as told by his owner and companion of nineteen years, Vicki Myron, the librarian who found him on a frigid January morning when he was abandoned as a kitten in the book drop slot. It is also the story of a remarkable small town, which burned down at the beginning of the Depression, only to rebuild itself, and which was almost shuttered during the farm crisis of the 1980s, before regrouping and rededicating itself to small-town American values. Dewey is one lovable, roguish cat who managed to transform an entire town and inspire people across the globe.

Review:
Vicki Myron was born in Spencer, Iowa. After a twenty-five year career as a librarian, she retired and wrote the New York Times bestseller Dewey, The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. She has written numerous other books about Dewey, including Dewey's Nine Lives: The Legacy of the Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions, Dewey the Library Cat: A True Story, and Dewey's Christmas at the Library. She currently resides in Spencer.
What an extraordinary story of love, courage and devotion. I will not soon forget the good people of Spencer, Iowa, and their wonderful library cat. Dewey is truly inspiration for the soul.
