Kirk Cameron's "See You at the Library" event has become a beacon of hope for families seeking wholesome entertainment that aligns with American values.

Cameron, alongside conservative book publisher BRAVE Books, conceived the event to counter the growing trend of libraries banning Brave Book story hours due to perceived conflicts with their values. Despite opposition, thousands of families flocked to these readings, inspiring the creation of a national event organized by patriotic parents across the country.
The "See You at the Library" event is a celebration of traditional American values, including faith, morality, education, law, and liberty. Participants gather to pray, sing the "National Anthem," and immerse themselves in patriotic and faith-based stories.

In its inaugural year, the event set a record for the largest drag queen story hour, with 260 participants. This year, BRAVE Books and Cameron aimed to shatter that record by inviting Guinness World Records to adjudicate the event. However, despite repeated attempts to secure their presence, their application mysteriously disappeared multiple times.
Undeterred, Cameron emphasized, "In fact, after each attempt, our applications mysteriously disappeared from our account. It's a shame we won't be able to set a record for family story time attendance with Guinness considering they did provide their services for drag queen story time during pride month."

Fox News Digital contacted Guinness World Records for comment but received no response.
Despite the setback, the event proceeded with an overwhelming turnout. Cameron personally attended three gatherings and was heartened by the outpouring of support, stating, "I went to three of them yesterday and we were overwhelmed with people who just love God, love their family and love this country."
Parents who organized these events expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to offer their children wholesome entertainment that aligns with their beliefs. They emphasized the importance of libraries being inclusive spaces that embrace all perspectives, not just those that conform to a particular ideology.
The "See You at the Library" event serves as a testament to the enduring power of traditional American values. It is a beacon of hope for families seeking a positive and uplifting experience that celebrates their faith and patriotism.
