Excerpt: Briese reported that Maggie, the library cat, became sick and died on June 19. She was a stray found by a previous library employee. Maggie was a part of the Community Library family since about 1996. While Maggie's true age was undetermined, she was believed to have been anywhere from 15 to 18 years old at the time of her passing.

Maggie became ill on June 18 and was taken to the vet by a supervisor, since Briese was on vaca-tion. Briese said she re-ceived a call and made the decision to have Maggie put down, since her rear leg area had become paralyzed. She said the vet suspected a blood clot.
