Cats befriend patrons, boost the morale of librarians, attract children to the library, and generate publicity for their libraries, especially on social media. There are many positives to the plan of keeping a cat in a library. Many modern libraries have welcomed cats into their bookish domains and in 1987 an official Library Cat Society (now defunct) was established to encourage the establishment and recognition of library cats. In the 18th century, Russian Empress Elizabeth ordered cats transported to her Winter Palace library so they could kill the rats there. Medieval monks knew that a cat in the monastery library would keep away rats that ate valuable manuscripts, candles, and anything else they could find. ‘The Story of an African Farm’ – Olive SchreinerĬats and books seem to belong together, like bacon and eggs, or wine and cheese.‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ – Muriel Spark. ‘The Leopard’ – Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.‘The Doll’s House’ – Katherine Mansfield.‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ – Alexandre Dumas.‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ – Thomas Hardy.‘Seven Little Australians’ – Ethel Turner.‘Little Red Riding Hood’ – The Brothers Grimm.‘Gone with the Wind’ – Margaret Mitchell.Terms of Service, Privacy Policy & Refund Policy.
