Additional Sources for Die Cuts
The Wood County District Public Library (WCDPL) also has a collection of Die Cuts. You may visit the children's section of that library for assistance in using their die cuts or in requesting die cuts from other public libraries in Ohio. To search for die cuts at the WCDPL, go to their catalog and do a keyword search for "die cut" and whatever additional keyword you would like. Example: "die cut" and runner.
