Vicki Myron was a single mom who, after surviving the loss of her family farm and an abusive husband, went back to school and became a librarian. In 1987, while working as a librarian at the public library in Spencer, IA, Vicki found something that would change her life forever - a tiny, disheveled kitten nearly frozen to death in the library's night drop box. Recognizing the extraordinary strength and uniqueness of this kitten, Vicki received approval from the library board to adopt him as Spencer's resident library cat. From that moment on, her life - and the town of Spencer - would change forever.

Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, grew into a strutting, affable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey. Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion to not only Vicki but for the entire town of Spencer. When Dewey passed away in 2006 at age 19, his obituary appeared in over 250 newspapers, including the New York Times, USA Today and the Des Moines Register.

Please join Vicki Myron for a special book signing and Meet & Greet at Mall of America! Vicki will take time to answer any questions you may have and personalize your copies of Dewey.
