FIRST ON FOX: Kirk Cameron, the acclaimed actor and writer, has announced an exciting “See You at the Library” book event in collaboration with Brave Books, the renowned publisher of his children’s books. This event, scheduled for August 5, 2023, aims to inspire Americans who prioritize faith and family values to gather at their local libraries for book readings and story time sessions with friends, families, and neighbors. Unfortunately, Cameron and Brave Books are facing challenges as they report the American Library Association’s alleged efforts to sabotage conservative and Christian parent groups from utilizing library spaces on August 5. In exclusive comments to Fox News Digital, Cameron and Brave Books express their shock and disappointment at the highest level of library leadership attempting to hinder their mission. They emphasize that the local library, historically a safe space for all, should welcome diverse perspectives, including God’s design for the family and nations. Cameron and Brave Books point to a video of the American Library Association’s leadership speech on June 8, which reportedly aimed to guide attendees on preventing Brave Books story hours in libraries nationwide. Despite reaching out to the association, Fox News Digital has not yet received a response. The American Library Association, headquartered in Chicago, is known as the oldest and largest library association globally, with nearly 50,000 members. Its mission is to lead in developing, promoting, and improving library and information services worldwide to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all. While individual public libraries in the U.S primarily receive funding from local governments, the American Library Association utilizes its funds strategically, aligning them with the directions of advocacy, literacy, diversity and equity of access, information policy and intellectual freedom, and professional and leadership development. Brave Books, through its public library book events over the past year, has received immense gratitude from thousands of families who appreciate the biblical and patriotic messages delivered by Cameron and his team. They are excited to embark on the next phase of their endeavor with the inaugural “See You at the Library Day” on August 5, where people nationwide will organize their own story hour events at libraries, celebrating a return to American, constitutional, and biblical values for the benefit of children. Despite the ALA spokesperson’s statements regarding libraries’ control over meeting room spaces, Cameron and Brave Books remain committed to their mission of spreading positive messages and are receiving numerous messages from potential hosts seeking advice on overcoming barriers to reserving library spaces.
