Yesterday, I was able to speak to Eliza from the Hartford Courant about
CT's School Librarian's position on the work of Dr. Seuss...

I was also able to find an article by the American Association of School
Librarian's President Kathy Carroll, which also provided guidance to school
libraries.

And a few older articles to show this isn't a new discussion:

https://www.slj.com/?detailStory=cat-hat-racist-read-across-america-shifts-away-dr-seuss-toward-diverse-books

I hope this helps and provides some guidance for book selection in your own
libraries!
