Moms for Liberty again hosting story hour that created controversy last year
Moms for Liberty cried foul last year when the Huntsville-Madison Public Library briefly canceled their planned Brave Books story hour.
Organizers claimed the library canceled the event due to the views of the organizers and the content of the presentation. Library officials said the projected attendance of the event ballooned far outside the initial projection of about 30 people and became more than the library could handle.
After threat of a lawsuit from Brave Books author Kirk Cameron, the library ultimately allowed the event to be held with an overflow room.
Moms for Liberty is now bringing a similar event back in numerous areas across the state on August 24, including the Huntsville library.
According to Brave Books, See You at the Library is a national day where thousands of families come together at public libraries to host wholesome story hours that celebrate a return to American, Constitutional, and Biblical values.
The event is used as a juxtaposition to books for youth that include sexual content and LGBTQ themes, which have been heavily targeted by Moms for Liberty, Clean Up Alabama and Eagle Forum over the past year.
The events will be taking place in Huntsville and multiple branches in Mobile and Baldwin County, the two areas of the state with Moms for Liberty chapters.
