The Central Library currently has a furry interloper (named Dell in the interim) and here he is.
He’s not the first cat to grace one of our libraries – our 150th website has an article about some of the furry friends who have been hosted over the years, including George, Pete, Charlie Girl, Starsky, Malvina and Boysie.
See Dell in The Press on Friday morning: Famished feline finds refuge in literary liaison. Media star!

We had some lovely visits from Indie in the Spreydon Library. He’d walk in on his lead and settle on his favourite chair in the sun. He’d get most upset if someone was sitting there.
