# 21 -- Dewey

Dewey: The Small-town Library Cat Who Changed the World is a wonderful story about what libraries mean to people all over the country AND about the impact an animal can have with the people they love.

If our legislature would read this book, they might begin to understand how important libraries are and what they mean to the communities they serve. It's not just about the information housed within the walls, but the people and the interactions that happen within those walls as well. We need libraries and we need people to come together over something like a sweet kitten in need instead of how to cut budgets and tell people they are unnecessary.

There's a children's version of this book too! My daughter loves it. It's told from the cat's point of view.
