Kirk Cameron and his faith-based children’s book publisher, Brave Books, are not deterred by one Alabama library’s attempt to cancel a gathering in coordination with their “See You at the Library” event.
The Madison Public Library in Huntsville, Alabama, canceled its participation in the “See You at the Library” event set to be hosted by Moms for Liberty this Saturday. It is part of Cameron and Brave Books’s national event, which has touted nearly 270 libraries’ participation across 45 states.The Madison Public Library announced they would no longer be able to host the event, citing concerns over the expected number of attendees.
Brave Books CEO Trent Talbot told the Washington Examiner that they plan to still show up at the Madison Public Library on Saturday. “The Madison Public Library using capacity constraints as the reason for ‘canceling’ this event makes absolutely no sense and is putting them in legal jeopardy,” Talbot added. “We are expecting the library to come to its senses for tomorrow's story hour, and we plan on showing up tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.”
First Liberty Institute said that if the event was not reinstated, the law firm was “prepared to vindicate this violation of our client’s civil rights in court.
