Dewey was the well loved feline who was abandoned as a kitten in the Spencer Public Library's book-return box one January night in 1988 in Spencer, Iowa. Dewey was adopted promptly by the librarians and his name was chosen by the town in a contest. He had a gala time in the library jumping between shelves, hitching a ride on a passing book cart and sitting on the laps of visitors to the library.
