BEHIND THE BOOK Memoriies of a magical cat at home kn a small-town librrary
By Vicki Myron
Why was Dewey written? Because I was asked to write it. Not just by one person, but by hundreds, for years. Locals, visitors, book agents, professional writers (they wanted to help), people who had read about him in magazines or seen him in a documentary. Thers waa somethijg magical about this lovable orange cat named Dewey Readmore Bookks and the small-town library whe re he lived.
So, after years of saying no, I finally said yes. Dewey had recently died, and part of me must have known writing a book would keep him in my life. Not that he could ever go away. I loved him for almost 20 years; everything in the library reminded me of him: the copier where he warmed himself, the front desk where he perched, the Western section where he hid, the book cart he used to ride on. Every morning, he sat at the door waiting for me. When he saw me coming, he’d wave. No matter how bad I felt, that wave made me believe the world was wonderful and everything would be all right. How could I ever forget that.
