Kirk Cameron cautions about American Library Association’s plot to cancel ‘See You at the Library’ event.
The American Library Association’s Attempt to Stifle Conservative Gatherings
The American Library Association (ALA) is facing accusations from children’s faith-based book publisher, Brave Books, for trying to hinder conservatives’ ability to hold library gatherings as an alternative to drag queen story hours.
Brave Books recently obtained a recording of an ALA presentation, where organization Director Deborah Caldwell-Stone was allegedly heard discussing ways to “exploit loopholes to block Brave Books story hours.”
“See You at the Library” – A Call to Action
In response to these allegations, Brave Books and children’s book author Kirk Cameron have called on parents and children to gather at libraries on Aug. 5 for a special event called “See You at the Library.” The aim of this event is to pray, sing, and read Brave Books and other books of virtue.
According to the recording, Caldwell-Stone suggested strategies to limit meeting room reservations connected to the Brave Books event, emphasizing the importance of “keeping control of your library.”
“What if your library decided to offer a whole host of programs in its meeting room on Aug. 5, making it unavailable for the public? That’s another option for you,” the recording stated.
Library Access Controversy
In December, Kirk Cameron criticized several libraries for rejecting his request to read his faith-based children’s book, As You Grow. He pointed out the inconsistency of access given to drag queen story hours that were previously held. Following national criticism, libraries began to reverse their initial rejections, and Cameron embarked on a nationwide library tour.
“Remember in Lord of the Rings when Pippen the hobbit knocked the skeleton, chains, and bucket down the well into the abyss… well, it seems our Brave Story Hours at public libraries have made enough noise to awaken the Balrogs deep within the ALA,” Cameron tweeted in response to the strategies discussed in the recording.
Brave Books encourages anyone who has faced difficulties reserving a library meeting room for Aug. 5 to contact the publisher. They express their surprise and disappointment at the attempts made by top-tier national library leadership to halt their efforts.
