FOX News highlighted the nationwide Brave Books event for Saturday. Two Texas groups and citizens from Christian County were featured. From the article:
"The Right to Win Ozarks community group is also holding "grassroots events" in southwest Missouri on Saturday.
"These are citizen-led initiatives taking place this Saturday at all four branches of the Christian County Public Library, in Clever, Nixa, Ozark and Sparta. The times vary by location," said a spokesperson from the group to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
"As passionate supporters of our public libraries, we believe in their fundamental role as knowledge repositories that spark imagination, learning and intellectual growth."
The Right to Win Ozarks spokesperson also said, "We are excited to be a part of the work happening under the library mission, priority No. 1 for access."
She also said, "We are striving to create a welcoming event and offer books and stories that reflect the community. It's about reigniting the community's love for reading and emphasizing the crucial role [that] libraries play in offering enlightenment and education to everyone."
The spokesperson added, "Parents and volunteers are coming together to offer story hours, activities and more to teach kids about faith, hope and love. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating and sustaining the essential service our libraries provide."
The story hour will include crafts and refreshments. Click here for more information, or visit Brave Books.
NOTE: The event was also organized by other local citizens not involved with RTWO. Reporters don't always get things exactly right, even if they have the best of intentions.
