But, then, I was Director of a small Ohio library, and Spencer reminds me quite a bit of my hometown. Maybe, for me, some of my feelings for the book was that nostalgia as well.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-4819662638569963562008-09-24T14:12:00.000-05:002008-09-24T14:12:00.000-05:00For the reason we can't all love Dewey as much as ...For the reason we can't all love Dewey as much as you, even if we, too, are cat lovers: http://dontreadthisbook.blogspot.comJ Wiles Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291020858013588658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-84384736509647176002008-09-20T18:33:00.000-05:002008-09-20T18:33:00.000-05:00Thank you!

And, you'll probably appreciate it even more than I did because you know Vicki Myron.<BR/><BR/>It's a wonderful book, and it praises Spencer, libraries, and Dewey. And, it says a lot about Myron herself. That's so great that you know her, and knew of Dewey.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-54619243886564058812008-09-17T19:04:00.000-05:002008-09-17T19:04:00.000-05:00Hi Lesa,I'm glad to hear that you loved DEWEY as s...Hi Lesa,<BR/>I'm glad to hear that you loved DEWEY as so many of us here in Iowa did.<BR/>Vicki Myron was my Public Library Management instructor and the fact that she kept this cat in the library, and for so long, is just another testament to her character. She is a wonderful lady.<BR/>I never had the chance to meet Dewey as I am severely allergic to cats but regularly Vicki would post an update on him. Dewey Readmore Books is missed in the community of Spencer I am sure, but I am so glad that Ms. Myron got the opportunity to tell their story so that his legacy may live on forever.<BR/>I'm first on the list as soon as it comes in. I'm glad to hear you've given it rave reviews.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07955671272497121413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-27059998302613663572008-09-17T15:58:00.000-05:002008-09-17T15:58:00.000-05:00Thank you, Susan!
