Members of the BHS Library Book Club visited two first-grade classes at Fourteenth Street, guided by Librarian Ms. Sprague. The purpose of the visit was to read aloud to the children and carry out a craft activity. They shared the book Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library by Vicki Myron and Brett Witter, which tells the heartfelt story of a real cat. As a kitten, Dewey was unfortunately dropped into a library's book return dropbox one night in Spencer, Iowa. The librarians decided to adopt him as the "library cat," allowing patrons to interact with him over the years. After the reading session, the first graders enjoyed coloring, cutting, and assembling their own library cats to take home and read to. #WeAreBangor
