A donated cat sculpture has joined The Book Barn family. It doesn't shed, nap on the registers, or demand breakfast at dawn, but it has already settled in nicely. The expression suggests it knows where all the rare books are hiding.

What should we name it?

A small, round tan cat sculpture sits on a light-colored surface in bright sunlight. The cat has a plump, spherical body, tiny pointed ears, closed eyes, chubby cheeks, and a faint smile, giving it a contented and slightly mischievous expression. Fine whiskers are etched into the surface, and soft shadows highlight its smooth, textured finish.

Footnote has officially arrived in his new home beside the little footbridge in the garden. Thanks to everyone who helped name him, more than 75 suggestions came in! Stop by for a selfie. Unlike our other cats, he'll stay put for the photo.

A small wooden footbridge crosses a mulched garden path in a shaded woodland setting at The Book Barn. Lush green plants and trees surround the bridge, with a white picket fence, garden chairs, and decorative lanterns visible in the background. Tucked beside the bridge among tall leaves sits Footnote, a round tan cat sculpture with closed eyes and a contented smile, appearing to quietly watch over the garden. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating dappled patches of light across the bridge and ground.
