First Liberty




We have good news to share! Our clients, Kirk Cameron and Brave Books
were able to host a Christian book reading at the Hunstville-Madison
Public Library in Alabama. The story hour event held on Saturday Aug.
5 was a tremendous success, with approximately 225 people in
attendance.

Late last week, the library canceled the book reading saying there
were "security concerns" and "concerns over
capacity." We immediately sent a letter asking the library to
reschedule the book reading.

Our attorneys made clear that public libraries must follow the law,
which states that religious groups must be treated the same as
everyone else. The library reversed course in less than 24 hours.

"We are grateful to the library for working with us to ensure
that the 'See You at the Library' event was able to take
place," said First Liberty Counsel Ryan Gardner. "Our
nation's libraries are an important part of their communities and
should be welcoming to messages of hope and encouragement."

This is a huge win for our clients. Their "See You at the
Library" campaign has more than 250 of these story hours
scheduled all across the country. This victory sends a clear message
to other librarires that they cannot exclude religious Americans from
using their facilities.

Of course, this is much more than just a win for Cameron and his book
publisher. It's a win for people of faith everywhere in the
country. All Americans benefit when public libraries do the right
thing and ensure equal access to public spaces.

As we celebrate this win, we want to thank you for supporting First
Liberty. You are a big part in helping deliver these day-to-day
victories, which make a tremendous difference for everyday Americans.
