How did See You at the Library start?Updated 3 months ago

In December of 2022, Kirk Cameron requested to read his first BRAVE Books children’s title, As You Grow, at public libraries all over the country. Over 50 of those libraries, one which also hosted Drag Story Hours, told him he could not read his book or ignored his requests. Kirk wrote letters to some of the libraries expressing his concern for their violation of the First Amendment. The libraries conceded, and he was allowed to read his book. This bred the story hour tour, which has become a movement across the nation. Kirk has gone to over 20 different libraries to host these story hour events.

Most events have included a time for patriotic practices like the Pledge of Allegiance and singing God Bless America. Some have included time of worship, prayer, and guest speakers and readers by other prominent authors and Christian/conservative voices. This movement mobilized thousands of families who were grateful for the much-needed biblical and Patriotic message that Kirk delivered. This movement comes together as one every year with “See You at the Library.”
