Back about a year ago, we talked about "the library's cat, Mr. Six-three-six Point-eight". However, there are real library cats out there, and we have just heard of the sad death of one.
Dewey Readmore Books died last week at the Spencer Public Library in Iowa, and is missed by all at that library.
Fortunately there are other library cats still living, and the Internet would not be the Internet without an interactive map to locate the nearest library cat. (And why isn't this valuable service integrated into WorldCat? Why aren't cats in WorldCat?)
Works on cats are, of course, in WorldCat. A good place to start is the Dewey number 636.8 Cats (as last year's blog hinted). And libraries are at 027 General libraries, archives, information centers. The Spencer Public Library is classed at 027.4777153, which is built by following the instructions under 027.43-.49, and adding to the base number 027.4 Public libraries the notation for the geographic area in which the Spencer Public Library located,T2--777153 Clay County (Spencer is in Clay County, Iowa).
