Kirk Cameron\u2019s message of returning faith and family to the public forum arrived Saturday at a small library in Brooklyn, New York<\/a>, in a largely Chinese neighborhood \u2014 despite the threat by an official to disrupt the event.<\/p>\n

“There is a strong movement out there to indoctrinate our kids from drag-queen story hours to everything you see on TV,” Lily Laureano, a Brooklyn mother of two, told Fox News Digital, before reading from Cameron\u2019s inspirational children’s tale “As You Grow.”<\/p>\n

The story-hour organizer was joined by about two dozen children and parents, almost all of them Chinese-American, at the McKinley Park Branch of Brooklyn Public Library.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re losing our family values,” the mom added. “They\u2019re being undermined by society that\u2019s being encouraged to believe that anything goes.”<\/p>\n

The family reading hour was nearly disrupted minutes before it began by a library officer, who said the reading-room capacity was limited to 27 people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were 28 people in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The occupancy sign in the room posted by the New York Department of Buildings listed the limit at 35 people.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re just looking for ways to impede the event,” Laureano\u2019s husband, David, told the officer, who walked away and did not return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Laureanos were among hundreds of parents around the nation Saturday who hosted family-friendly reading hours as part of the “See You at the Library” movement, inspired by actor-author and family-values warrior Cameron and his publisher Brave Books.<\/p>\n

The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System in Huntsville, Alabama<\/u><\/a> threatened to cancel a Saturday reading hosted by Cameron himself, citing logistics and security concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Alabama library reversed its decision on Friday, after facing public and potential legal backlash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cameron has been denied spots to speak at public libraries around the nation and threatened with denial by others.<\/p>\n

KIRK CAMERON-INSPIRED LIBRARY EVENT ON AUG. 5 IS \u2018AWESOME WAY TO BE BOLD,\u2019 SAYS LOUISIANA PASTOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Brooklyn event eventually went off without a hitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The library welcomes people from all walks of life and all perspectives,” Brooklyn Public Library spokesperson Fritzi Bodenheimer told Fox News Digital afterward.<\/p>\n

“This is part of a nationwide movement started by Kirk Cameron and Brave Books rooted in Christian and American values,” Lily Laureano said, before sharing a prayer, song, dance and then reading “As You Grow” cover to cover.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One parent was perplexed after hearing the book cover to cover for the first time.<\/p>\n

“It seems fairly straightforward and not controversial in any way,” said a Manhattan father of three girls, who declined to give his name.<\/p>\n

“It talks about growing up and not losing faith when you\u2019re sorrowful and looking for better days ahead. I\u2019m curious as to why these story hours haven caused so much controversy and so many headlines for what seems pretty basic. It was even less controversial than I imagined.”<\/p>\n

“What’s going on in the world right now is very dark,” responded Laureano, who hosted the story hour wearing a black T-shirt that with the words “Chosen” and “1 Peter 2:9” written in white.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But you\u00a0are\u00a0a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of\u00a0darkness into His marvelous light,” reads the biblical passage referenced on her T-shirt.<\/p>\n

She said she was inspired to become more involved in her community, and grew deeper in her Christian conviction, after one of her children was exposed to drag-queen events at a “progressive” school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She felt the sexual messaging was inappropriate for children and marked an incursion by educators and public officials into parental territory.<\/p>\n

“For me, it\u2019s my responsibility as a parent to bring up my kids knowing basic family values. It\u2019s not the government\u2019s business at all to raise are children. And with the way things are going, it\u2019s basically a fight at this point.”<\/p>\n

“I want to thank you,” a former librarian named Jean told Laureano at the end of the event.<\/p>\n

“This is the only library in New York City hosting one of these readings.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
