Spencer Public Library

I stopped in here because my mom and I were both fans of the Dewey Readmore Books stories. They have a little gravesite and a statue by the front desk that honors the late celebrity library cat. The woman at the front desk even kindly offered to show me the book drop where Dewey was abandoned as a kitten one cold winter night. It doesn't take long to stop. You can buy postcards and sign the guest book if you'd like.

Came to see where Dewey Read more Books used to live and hang out. Had a tour from a really friendly staff and we got to see all the key areas. Sure which we would have been able to meet the kitty but it was neat touring the place. It was an old building and very busy the day we were there. Good to see the library used.

I have never been to Spencer, Iowa but someday hope to go there. I loved reading the story about Dewey Readmore books and cannot put into words except a BIG thank you to the staff who worked deligently to have Dewey become their library mascot. Remember your loving pet is in your life but you are their whole Life!! Please treat them with all the love and respect that they deserve and Dewey received from the wonderful library staff and patrons.

I've never been but I know that will already have an impact on my life when I do go. I am almost done reading the book "Dewey" and its awesome, if I had a chance to meet him I would take it. He lived till the year I was born. Thank you Vikiy for writing this wonderful book!!!

Dewey forever !! I am finishing reading Dewey's beautiful love story ... I am moved and my feelings are so deep that I can not find words to express them! Just thanks Vichi for so much love, thanks Spencer Library for existing! And to the community, to wish the best and to continue to maintain those deeply rooted values, values that make me love this noble nation of which I now belong! I am a South American immigrant, I love my roots and I love the flowers and fruits that this generous land has given me! God bless America !!!

First time experiencing this library and was happy about the visit. Was able to use the wifi and my own laptop. There was space for me to plug my phone and laptop chargers without hassles. Will definitely visit again.
