After initially denying Kirk Cameroon’s “story hour” for his new faith-based book, the Indianapolis Public Library caved and allowed him to hold a public reading. Despite their claim that the book “didn’t align with the values” of the community, thousands of people showed up. This is a huge loss for the left’s attempt to silence Cameron’s new book.
According to the publisher Brave Books, over 2,500 parents and children packed into the library.
Wow! What an incredible turnout!
Thank you to everyone who gave up their morning to join us in Indianapolis!
We are so humbled & thankful for your support!@KirkCameron pic.twitter.com/5iiVwgmIHb

“The turnout at the library was far beyond what we expected,” a Cameron spokesman told The Post Millennial about the Indianapolis event. “Thousands show up.”
The new book ‘As You Grow’ is a powerful new book that “teaches kids biblical wisdom, through the seasons of life and how to grow the fruits of the Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control,” according to Cameron
Here are a few great clips from todays event:
@BraveBooksUS @KirkCameron Story time was great today! I think the best part for adults was listening to the librarian say there were too many people on the 6th floor & ask parents to bring the kids to a different floor for a different activity 😂 We all wanted Kirk's story time! pic.twitter.com/r8al2LKy1H

@KirkCameron just came out and let us know there are over 1,000 guests in the @indylibrary. He is being escorted by police to each floor to thank supporters of this reading initiative and wished everyone a happy new year! pic.twitter.com/dIPCapuQtE

Library staff has informed patrons that there will not be room for all guests to enjoy the book reading. As you can see, the building appears well beyond capacity. @KirkCameron @indylibrary #childstoryhour pic.twitter.com/mW3KRtFiZd

Twitter user Bethany Talboux summed things up perfectly:
Wow! And for some reason I remember these libraries telling Kirk that his book doesn’t represent their communities.
Seems like there are a lot of people in this community that want to raise their children with Christian values. https://t.co/oHetIhcsYH

I mean, just look at this line! Turns out the left was wrong about this faith-based book, as always:
Actor and author Kirk Cameron is scheduled to appear for a reading of his newest book, “As You Grow,” at the Indianapolis Public Library at 10:30 am. The library opens at 10:00 am, but a line has already begun to form.#indianapolis #indiana #culture pic.twitter.com/Mgv4AJR4Pt

As You Grow is currently a #1 bestseller on Amazon, much to the dismay of Biden supporters everywhere.
