Vicki Myron (born 1947) is an American author and librarian.[1] Director of the Spencer Public Library for more than 20 years, she is best known for her book Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, co-written with Bret Witter. It sold more than one million copies internationally and was on bestseller lists for more than six months. The book is about a cat she found and cared for at the library, and his engaging effects on the townspeople. The library cat's story became internationally known during his life.[2]
The book's great success led to a publishing phenomenon, with Myron and Witter also writing two related children's books, and with publication of audio books. Their sequel, Dewey's Nine Lives, was published in 2010, as was a second children's picture book about the cat.[3][2] A proposed film adaptation had not been completed; as of May 2012 the script had not been approved and the first option was due to expire in June 2012.[4]
