Random Thoughts of a Disordered Mind 
I read your comment on “I can has cheez burger” about the “I am the Library Cat” posting (the large white unfriendly-looking cat).
I’m head of the music library at Florida State University. Years ago we became so dishearted about not having a library cat (this is a no-no in university libraries) that we have numerous pictures of cats in our back rooms and even had a stuffed chesire cat (a cutout, sew, and stuff, kids toy probably from the 60’s). I think “fup” from Powell’s Books was the first photo posted. It was taken directly from Powell’s site and is about 1/2″ x 1/2″ in size, but is mounted in a very large golden mat frame. Dewey, of course, also has his place in our library, maybe in part because “Library of Congress” just doesn’t seem like a very good cat name.
Anyway, just want to say “hi,” and enjoyed your post as a librarian.
