[Publib] A Library Cat

[GraceAnne Andreassi DeCandido]

Please do not do this. I am horribly, dangerously allergic to 
cats. I could never visit the library if it had a cat, and when it 
got rid of the cat, it would be months before all the cat stuff 
were gone. I am not alone in this allergy, and it is far more 
common than you might think.
