About Perkins
Perkins has been the library cat at Bloggington on Sea Carnegie Library on the dockside of Bloggington harbour for many years. When Perkins was small, the librarian, Mrss Sideloader, made a space for her to sleep by removing volumes 12-14 of Elgar Atkins’s Naval Manoeuvres in Bloggington Bay During the Reign of Queen Anne, which were shelved directly above the old steam radiator. Today, Perkins occupies the space of four more volumes - a tribute to Mrs. Sideloader’s generosity and to the many hours Perkins spends at Mrs. Hill's whelk stall on the sea front.
Perkins has been awarded many letters: OBE, MBE, KGB, and MGB. This summer she became a "Cat of the British Empire" (CBE). She is a life member of SYRUP, a mysterious organisation whose activities only she understands. She also has relatives in many countries including Wales.
We are honoured that she has agreed to host this public library blog. In gracious recognition of this work, we have awarded her honorary American citizenship.

Perkins, you're an example to the rest of us. My own feline friends like to curl up on a good book, or The Guardian review section on Saturdays. When small, they preferred sitting on the dictionary, as it raised them high enough to put their noses in my tea mug. But their great achievement is teaching me how to relax. Learn from your cat, everyone.
