On a cold, blustery morning, Vicki Myron heads to work expecting just another ordinary day serving her town as the public library director in Spencer, Iowa. As is routine, she checks off her daily to-do list trying to have everything in order before the patrons arrive. While retrieving the books from the returned slot cart, she hears a whimper crying out from below. There nestled among the volumes of books lay a precious kitten desperately hoping to be saved.

How did this kitten wind up in the slot on what was probably the coldest night of the winter? For Vicki, it really doesn't matter as she snuggles her new found kitty in her arms. His fate is sealed, as is hers. Dewey, as he would later be named, had just cleverly wiggled his way into Vicki's life. Little did they know just how much they would need each other.

Not surprisingly, Dewey quickly commandeers not only the library staff, but also the little town of Spencer. Of course, there are some bumps in the road as not everyone is a fan of the town's new feline sensation. But with time, Dewey manages to win their hearts by showing even the naysayer's the true meaning of love.

For Vicki, Dewey becomes her steadfast companion during the tough times as she battles cancer and family tragedies. Together, they build a haven among the stacks for those who simply need a place to call home. From the sick to the downtrodden, Dewey shows no prejudice while sharing his love with whoever deems him worthy.

DEWEY THE SMALL-TOWN LIBRARY CAT WHO TOUCHED THE WORLD is a feel-good book that brings to light the simple pleasure associated with unconditional love. From humorous tales to poignant moments of tenderness, Dewey's story will forever be every library's most treasured book.
