Introducing Puss-in-books ...

Thanks for voting! We had 120 votes (some from afar). Puss-in-books was the overall winner with 55% of the votes, followed by Matariki with 41%. Over to our feline friend:

Hi there, Puss-in-books is my name

Pawing your mouse is my game

Hope you’ll visit often

My nature may soften

when you stroke my snowy fur,

I begin to loudly PURR!

Kitty needs a name

Thank-you for making online suggestions for our library blog cat's name.  One of them was Matariki, because "the cat is black like the night sky and has a white chest, a big star!" Or there is Maggie, named after the well loved New Zealand author, Margaret Mahy who sadly passed away on 23 July 2012. Puss-in-books is meeoowrific name too.

Now we need you to vote for a name, because kitty wants to be nameless no more. Simply select the name you like on our poll (to the right of this post), or - if you have had a brainwave and want to suggest something different, please tick 'other' and then post your suggested name as a comment beneath this post. The closing date is Friday 22nd February, so get voting!
