Family-friendly story hour aims to take back libraries from woke left

By John Labriola - Local Christian parents will present a family-friendly story hour at the Lakes Region Library in Inverness this Saturday as part of the "See You at the Library" August 5 nationwide reading event organized by Brave Books and author/actor Kirk Cameron to take our public libraries back from the woke left.

Austin Primis, a doctor and father of three from Hernando, has booked the Inverness library's community room for an hour to pray, fellowship, and read one or more of Cameron's children's books to local families.  

Primis said the Lord laid it on his heart to answer Cameron's national call to action after news that some libraries tried to keep Cameron out despite previously hosting "Drag Queen Story Hours." 

"People's hearts are darkened," Primis said. "It's sad because we have a right to talk about the Lord and share these stories about character and integrity."

Primis and his wife and members of their church will share the message with children that "there's a Savior and they're created in the image of God."

The Citrus County Library System is not sponsoring the event. While Citrus libraries have not hosted Drag Queen Story Hours, they did celebrate "LGBT Pride Month" in June 2021 with rainbow-flag-draped displays featuring books and slogans promoting sodomy and gender dysphoria. The displays were discontinued following intense public backlash. 

The family-friendly "See You at the Library" event is free and will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Lakes Region Library, 1511 Druid Rd., Inverness, FL 34452.

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
