Two of my favorite things are cats and books. I’m sure that won’t come as a huge surprise to you all. In the picture above, you will see three kittens (who are much larger these days) named Merry, Pippin, and Sam who have decided to sleep squeezed between the top of the books and the bottom of the next shelf.
Now, on the subject of cats and books, I should tell you about the Library Cats Map. It’s a site that features information about cats that live in libraries. There are even pictures of many of the cats. Some of the cats have passed on, but others are still around. The map even tells you where these libraries are if you should wish to drop by for a visit. The whole world is included on the map, although some places currently have no cats listed. So, enjoy!
And if you have information about cats that they don’t have listed…you might let them know.

Hi Fremont Libraries!
Some cats have moved to http://www.ALibraryCat.com, which records the personal stories of cats, the libraries they love to visit, and the books they love to “read” (of course, we all know, they “abosrb” information from lying on top of a book.
If you would like to write and contribute a story, to be compiled into an ebook that celebrates National Library week, just visit http://www.ALibraryCat.com or email cat@alibrarycat.com.
I join you in your favourites – cats and books (I could add some others as well) but I hate being without either a cat or a book. We recently rescued a black and white kitten with a broken leg from a building site. The Vet fixed his leg and he’s fine. We called him Jake-the-Peg (from the song Jake-the-Peg with the wooden leg)! His favourite place to sleep is under or behind something. Be careful where you sit, Jake is under the cusion/blanket etc. He is a cutie-pie.
Have you read the book “Dewey”? It’s about a library cat. If you haven’t, you must. It encompasses your two passions.
