He was then forced to turn away countless more when the library refused to extend his room rental time, claiming, according to a Brave Books representative, there weren\u2019t enough library staff members to work the event and the library would be closing soon. <\/p>\n<p>Neither of these reasons made sense, however, considering the library wasn\u2019t sponsoring the event and thus shouldn\u2019t have needed extra staff, and the request was made around 3:45 p.m. The library closes at 6:45.<\/p>\n<p>The Indianapolis Public Library hosted the wholesome storytime. \u201coverwhelmed with a tidal wave of parents, grandparents, and patriots\u201d Some even asked to sing \u201cGod Bless America,\u201d\u00a0Cameron spoke with The Federalist in an interview.
