See You at the Library
A National Celebration of Faith and Igniting Wonder, One Story at a Time. In partnership with the Department of Education at the Library of Congress.
Families from coast to coast will gather in more than 1,000 libraries for a powerful celebration of imagination, inspiration, and timeless values. See You at the Library is a nationwide story hour event designed to awaken hearts, ignite wonder, and plant seeds of faith through stories that matter.
How It Started
In 2023, Kirk Cameron was denied by over 50 libraries to read his BRAVE book, As You Grow, on the Fruit of the Spirit. 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.
As Kirk Cameron hosted story hours reading his book, many libraries and protesters attempted to thwart him. Even the director of the American Library Association gave libraries tips on how to shut down these pro-God, pro-America book readings.
From these challenges, the See You at the Library was born! Kirk and communities of families around the nation hosted wholesome story hours on See You At the Library Day. This year we’re doing it again on August 16th! This is a simple way to bring HUGE change to our nation. Are you ready to join the movement?
Our Impact Last Year
How Can You Make a Difference?
This year, we are calling on patriots across the country to join the movement and go to their local library to host their own Story Hour. This is about more than just reading children’s books… It's about shaping the future of our nation by instilling traditional values and a love for America in the next generation. With your help, we can leave a legacy by fostering a sense of faith, hope, and patriotism in our country again.
