A tabby cat sits upright on the worn wooden floor of a library aisle, its back to the viewer and its face turned toward rows of tall shelves crowded with bound volumes. The scene carries a quiet, almost companionable mood, as if the animal has claimed the aisle as its own. Library cats were a familiar sight in many reading rooms and stacks, where they were valued for keeping mice away from paper and for the calm they lent to a space devoted to study. Pictures like this one capture a point where everyday routine and the long, slow life of the book collection meet.
