In an effort to encourage faith-based and family-friendly content at community libraries across the nation, an Alaska organization has booked the Loussac Library for a virtue-based children’s story hour in Anchorage.
Inspired as a reaction against Drag Queen Story Hours and sexualized library books, the event is part of a nationwide movement – “See You at The Library” – which was launched by actor and writer Kirk Cameron.
On Aug. 5, the Alaska-based GoodTubeKids will host an event at the Loussac Library from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. The virtue-based media group has held several similar events over the past few months, both in Anchorage and the Mat-Su.
The goal on Aug. 5 is to encourage families to utilize their local libraries for book readings that promote virtue, faith, authentic patriotism and family values.
While the Anchorage event is already scheduled, the American Library Association (ALA) is encouraging member libraries throughout the U.S. to work behind the scenes to thwart efforts like “See You at The Library.”
The taxpayer-funded ALA, of which most Alaska libraries are members, is now circulating guidance to sabotage conservative or Christian parent groups from using their public libraries for the Aug. 5 events. One ALA director delivered a video message encouraging librarians to block “See You at The Library” events by booking official library programming that same day so there is no time or space for the event.
