One gift, two gifts, we all get a new gift.

Dr. Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel, is giving $1 million for another memorial to her husband, this one in his western Massachusetts hometown.Geisel was in Springfield Thursday to celebrate her 75th birthday and announce the gift. The Springfield Library and Museums Association is overseeing the project but hasn't settled on a design.

Last fall, Geisel donated a reported $20 million so the main library at the University of California at San Diego could be renamed the Geisel Library.
