BOWLING GREEN, Ohio There s a national discussion surrounding Dr. Seuss books, after the business that preserves and protects the famous children’s author’s legacy announced it would stop producing six of his books because of racist undertones.
But at least one local library has no plans to remove the titles from their shelves and instead will keep them available so they can be used as learning tools.

Library director says thanks for levy support
To the editor: This has been a difficult year. Amidst the pandemic and economic hardship felt by so many of our neighbors, it was time for the Wood County District Public Library levy to go before voters for re-consideration. The WCDPL board and staff have worked hard every day since the levy was first approved in 2010 (and renewed in 2014) to earn and maintain the trust of our local taxpayers and voters. Extending library services throughout the WCDPL legal service district has been our goal.
