Dewey the cat dies in librarian’s arms

A Sad Tail: The final chapter is closed on Dewey Readmore Books. The 19-year-old cat, who became a mascot for the city’s library after being found in a book drop, died Wednesday in the arms of librarian Vicki Myron.

After his health rallied, he started “acting funny trying to hide” and Myron decided to take him to the vet and have him euthanized.

Library employee Kim Peterson said the staff is talking about having Dewey cremated and burying his ashes at the library.
