crazy love

We had a great discussion about the role of libraries in our lives and in our community when we met last night to discuss DEWEY - The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. We also talked about our relationships with our cats and dogs. What we didn't talk about was the interesting relationships that sometimes develop between cats and other animals.
