Maggie Rivals Dewey for Media Attention


Link to May 18 mykenoshacounty.com article, "Maggie the cat gets feline reprieve".

Briese said on May 14, that she has dealt with media on the cat issue all week. "This is something that the library board needs to deal with internally. It's unfortunate that the issue is being played out in the media."
