To what extent can an animal influence things? Can a single cat affect how many lives? How can an abandoned kitty renovate a little library, preserve a traditional American community, and go on to become a global celebrity? After you hear the endearing tale of Spencer, Iowa's beloved library cat, Dewey Readmore Books, you won't be able to start answering those questions.
Dewey's narrative gets off to the worst conceivable start. He was just a few weeks old when, on the coldest night of the year, he was jammed into the Spencer Public Library's returned book slot. Vicki Myron, the library director, discovered him the next day at work. Vicki is a single mother who has endured losing her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Pulling himself up and staggering on frostbitten feet to poke each of them in a gesture of appreciation and affection, Dewey captured her heart and the hearts of the staff. He continued to wow the residents of Spencer for the following nineteen years with his contagious excitement, kindness, surprising humility, and, most importantly, his sixth instinct of who needed him the most.
Dewey became more than just a buddy as his notoriety spread from town to town, state to state, and eventually, astonishingly, globally. He became a source of pride for an outstanding agricultural community in the Heartland that was gradually recovering from the worst crisis in its lengthy history.
