At the event, Kirk read his own children’s book As You Grow.He also hosted former Duck Dynasty D-lister Missy Robertson to read her own children’s book and swimmer Riley Gaines (you know, the one whose only notoriety is hating trans people like Lia Thomas) just because she was in the area.Meanwhile, the local Tennessee library they booked for the event didn’t even want their booking.
The library workers tried to politely decline by saying they wouldn’t be able to accommodate all the locals that the event might bring in.
Instead of giving workers the freedom to make their own decisions, the aforementioned locals and the library’s board of directors strong-armed staff into taking on the overflow crowd.Things were disagreeable, but still going fine.
