Between 2010 and 2019, Cauli Le Chat (2006?-2020), feline roving reporter for Mooresville Public Library (Mooresville, Indiana), reported all things interesting to cats (and humans) happening at the library. Related stories from across the state (and beyond) were also included.

I forgot to mention in yesterday's blog posting that Savvy hit the local newspapers. Well, not literally. Why would anyone hit a newspaper? Put one under the litterbox--sure, no problem. But hit? I don't think so.

Thanks to the Mooresville-Decatur Times for running this photo story in its paper edition. A picture is worth a thousand words.

P.S. Savvy is synonymous with sophistication. There were lots of popular songs in the 1930s about sophsitication, but "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails," recorded by Al Bowlly (with The Freshmen) (1935), is one such tune. People used to get dressed up back then when they were stepping out.
Rachel Montgomery, M.L.S., whom I'll call Savvy (because she is, as Broadway Gal says), has joined my Library staff as our new Young Adult (i.e., Teen) Librarian. Savvy will take the reins next week, when she will rein-in, or, perhaps, reign over, the teens. (I'm getting a lot of mileage out of the word rein and its homophone, reign. This calls for a musical segue, but we'll wait for the postscript.)
Savvy will be in charge of all things teen at my Library. That's a huge piece of the Youth Services pie, but there's always room for dessert. As Broadway Gal described her, Savvy brings "teen programming experience and an infectious enthusiasm," both of which are essential qualities to work in the YAZ (Young Adult Zone), which is her new headquarters.

Perhaps you'd like to see Savvy for yourselves. Can-do.
Savvy's Blog Picture
Want to read (and follow) Savvy's several blogs? You betcha.
Along with the Indiana State Library, Hussey-Mayfield pioneered the Evergreen Indiana (E.I.) open-source integrated library system (ILS). Mooresville Public Library was one of the first five Hoosier public libraries to join the consortium, so we've done our share of pioneering, which is appropriate, considering that our public school nickname is Pioneers.
Is Savvy on Facebook? Not that I've found so far; however, there's someone by the same name on MySpace, but I'm not sure it's she. You can find her on LinkedIn, though.
I haven't actually met Savvy yet, but Broadway Gal's word is good enough for anybody. My minions have been researching Savvy through the Internet. Amazingly informative and, simultaneously, slightly scary.
Welcome to my Library, Savvy! You will never want to leave. This is the greatest place to work on the planet, bar none.
That's 'Cause I'm Here, Naturally,

P.S. Remember that whole "rein/reign" thing I started with? Here's the musical segue. "Love Reign O'er Me," by The Who, appeared on the album Quadrophenia (1973).
