Legacy
Vicki Myron, who had been manager of the Spencer Public Library for 25 years, retired from her position after Dewey's death. Myron wrote a book, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, that was published in September 2008. By late 2008 it was on the New York Times bestseller list (November 16, 2008). Her second book for adults, Dewey's Nine Lives, was released in October 2010. Myron has also written three books about Dewey for children, including Dewey's Christmas at the Library (New York: Little, Brown, 2010: After finding a red ball of yarn, Dewey the cat, who lives in the Spencer, Iowa, public library, finds a way to help decorate the Christmas tree.). This was translated into French by Claudine Azoulay as Dewey Fête Noël (Toronto: Editions Scholastic, 2011).
