Over the past year Harry, a young tom cat, has visited the Sólheimasafn library daily. However, the overly-sociable cat has now been banned from spending his days in the centre after a guest complained about his presence. The friendly tom cat will now have to find himself a new hangout, reports Vísir.

“One of our guests is extremely allergic to cats and he asked that Harry not be let into the building anymore,” explained librarian Óskar Guðjónsson. “Harry lives nearby and has paid us a little visit almost daily for the past year. He’s even taught himself how to open the front door.”
Óskar describes Harry as an affectionate and sociable cat and admits that the staff misses his visits.
“He would spend most of his time in the children’s book section and would cuddle up to staff and guests. But the rules state that animals are not allowed inside public buildings, and we knew that. So there’s little we can do but obey them.”
