From the American Library Association magazine: "Dewey Readmore Books, the live-in mascot of the Spencer (Iowa) Public Library who died at age 19 on November 29, 2006, has caught one last treasure for SPL Director Vicki Myron: Grand Central Publishing signed a $1.25-million book deal April 2 for Dewey’s life story. Myron will coauthor the biography, tentatively titled Dewey, a Small Town, a Library, and the World’s Most Beloved Cat." Dewey was put in the library's book return "one cold January night in 1988. When the staff found him the next morning, they decided to adopt him." Read about the much-loved Dewey here. See Dewey on the job here.
