Authorities say a “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a Pennsylvania library has been canceled after a suspicious package was found in the building.
Police evacuated the Lancaster Public Library after the package was found Saturday morning. A state police bomb squad later cleared the library, but police said “additional reported threats” were still being investigated. Residents of two blocks were advised to evacuate.
Police evacuated the Lancaster Public Library after the package was found. A state police bomb squad later cleared the library, but police said “additional reported threats” were still being investigated. Residents of the block and another block nearby were advised to evacuate. Commissioner Josh Parsons wrote that libraries “should be places for kids to safely read and learn, not politicized social laboratories for woke ideology.” Commissioner Ray D’Agostino said he thought there was a link between children being more “confused, anxious and stressed” than ever and people ”trying to push adult themed issues at such an early age." Scores of people attended a prayer vigil in the plaza adjacent to the library Friday night opposing the event.
The Lancaster LGBTQ+ Coalition noted “backlash” in a Facebook post earlier this month and decried what it called"hateful comments about the LGBTQ+ community” from public officials.
