The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System in Alabama has reversed its previous decision to cancel a book reading event featuring Kirk Cameron and his publisher, Brave Books. The event, called “See You at the Library,” will take place on Saturday, August 5. Initially, the library cited concerns about logistics and security as reasons for canceling the event due to its growing popularity. However, after the law firm First Liberty Institute intervened and threatened legal action, the library decided to host the event after all.
“We are thrilled that Brave Books, Kirk, and Riley will be able to host the book reading tomorrow as previously scheduled,” said Ryan Gardner, counsel for First Liberty. “Our nation’s libraries should be welcoming to messages of hope and encouragement like that of Kirk and Riley.”
First Liberty, known as the nation’s largest law firm dedicated to defending and restoring religious liberty, sent a letter to the library system, demanding that the event be allowed to proceed. The library agreed to accommodate Kirk Cameron, the Brave Books team, and Riley Gaines, a women’s sports advocate who will be joining them at the event. The library has even enlisted the help of the Madison Police and the Madison Fire Marshal to ensure public safety during the event.
The “See You at the Library” event has gained traction nationwide, with over 300 libraries across 46 states participating. Ordinary citizens from various backgrounds are volunteering to read cherished books to families and children in their communities. Trent Talbot, CEO of Brave Books, expressed his satisfaction with the library’s reversal and emphasized the importance of standing up for public institutions.
The library system issued a statement confirming their agreement with event coordinators, Moms for Liberty, and they will limit the event to 225 attendees to ensure public safety. Meanwhile, other individuals such as a pastor’s wife in West Virginia are also participating in similar events at public libraries. Lauren White, the pastor’s wife, sees the event as an opportunity to show solidarity in their beliefs and combat cultural agendas that contradict their conservative Christian values.
In conclusion, the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System has reversed its decision to cancel the “See You at the Library” event featuring Kirk Cameron and Brave Books. With legal intervention and the support of the community, the library will now welcome the event, promoting messages of hope, encouragement, and conservative Christian values.
