Dewey Readmore Books Postcards

Earlier this summer I finished reading the book Dewey The Small - Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron.

If you haven't read the story of the little kitten who stole the hearts of the Spencer Iowa Public Library patrons, not to mention the whole world than I would highly recommend you do. It is a short book and easily read in a few sittings but a story that will capture your heart and long be remembered.

After reading this sweet story I just needed to find out more about this extraordinary cat and found that Dewey has a Wikipedia page, a facebook page and is even on YouTube! In fact, Variety reported the news that New Line Cinema is planning a movie staring Meryl Streep as the librarian and author of the book, Vicki Myron.

As a special treat for postcard collectors, the Friends of the Spencer Library are selling Dewey Readmore Books Postcards with proceeds generated to aid in purchasing items for the library not covered by their budget. The postcards are all of Dewey in four different poses, each card is $1.50. This to me was a win - win situation, I am able to have a set of postcards featuring Dewey AND help the Spencer, Iowa Public Library!
