The CBS /Sunday Morning/ show featured an 8 to 10 minute segment on
Dewey and the author-librarian of the Spencer Public Library, but so
far, apparently, CBS has not posted the video on its website, even
though it did post its other Iowa item on the Britt hobo celebration.
Surprisingly, a Google search for "dewey the library cat" yields over
120,000 hits.
According to the program, there are over 100 other cats patrolling
various libraries, around the world.
In fact, there is even a group inspired by Dewey called the Library Cat
Organization.
If you missed this heart-warming special and would like CBS to make it
available on their website, here is the address that I used to contact
CBS.....
