Dewey the Library Cat
A few weeks ago when we were shopping in Costo, we did our usual and looked through the book section. One book in particular caught our eye. It was called Dewey and is the story of a cat who lived in at Spencer Public Library in Iowa. I don’t normally read factual books, I’m more a fantasy or sci-fi fan.

The town was suffering during the downturn of the 1980′s and the arrival of Dewey proved to be a turning point for the library and the town. The writing is easy and very descriptive; you are just there in the story.
