These demonstrations are not too unconventional from years past. Lynda Claassen, UCSD's Director of Special Collections and Archives, said protests are a part of student activism.
Each of the new books will be inspired by an unpublished sketch by Dr. Seuss, whose whimsical imagery has drawn new scrutiny since his estate pulled six titles from circulation last year.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The UC San Diego Library announced Thursday the addition of its first African Americana collection -- the Turner Collection -- to its Special Collections and Archives.
Donated by Steve Turner, a UCSD 1982 alumnus and an avid collector, the collection is composed of more than 300 items including rare photographs, pamphlets, photocards, posters and pinback buttons, many from the 19th century and all of which shed new light on the Black experience, particularly in the American West.
"We are honored to have received this collection," said Erik Mitchell, the Audrey Geisel University Librarian. "Each piece offers a window into American history, showing a different perspective on times past -- how compelling and necessary."
