Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Attorney General Catherine Hanaway have sent letters demanding the library cancel, with Hoskins warning of funding cuts and even calling the event “sexual grooming.” But the library stands firm, calling the event a normal, inclusive extension of their programming—and it’s still on for Saturday. This showdown highlights a broader state effort to control children’s exposure to content, while the library fights back.
