Most domestic animals do not get their own biographies, but Dewey Readmore, formerly of the Spencer Iowa Library, was not just any cat. He was put in the book return one January night in 1988 and became perhaps the most well-known and beloved of all library cats. He died in 2006 at the ripe old age of 19, having been lovingly raised by librarian Vicky Myron and enjoyed by countless library visitors.
Here’s a description of the book from the publisher, Hachette, and additional background at the library’s website.
