How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Read more Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa. Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility, (for a cat) and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state, and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming town pulling its way slowly back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

Par un matin d'hiver, Vicki Myron, attirée par des cris déchirants, découvre un chaton frigorifié dans la boîte aux lettres de la bibliothèque où elle travaille. Après l'avoir réchauffé, Vicki et ses collègues, conquis, décident de l'adopter. Dewey deviendra vite la mascotte de la bibliothèque et l'emblème de la ville de Spencer. Pendant 19 ans, Dewey, grand amateur de cheesebugers, d'ailes de poulet et fan de télévision, va révolutionner cette petite ville. Il va apprendre à sourire aux enfants handicapés, attendrir les hommes d'affaires… et devenir le chouchou des médias, au point que les télévisions du monde entier viendront le filmer. Vicki Myron, la bibliothécaire qui a partagé sa vie, nous raconte l'aventure extraordinaire de ce chat hors du commun.
