resource of the week: library cat map


Ellyssa Kroski writes: “There are currently over 300 living resident library cats throughout the world, 200+ of which reside in the US according to the Library Cat Map. Library cats have been welcomed as rodent-killers since the early 19th century in Europe and even dating back to ancient times in Egypt in the libraries of temples. Here are six famous library cats, as well as resources to find out about many more.”  (iLibrarian, Jan. 9 appearing in ALA Direct, Jan. 15)  And yes, this one is dedicated to Marissa, Amy, Rebecca, and Carolyn.  : )
