Organizers originally projected 20 attendees, the library said, but library staff said they then learned that organizers expected more than 300. The library called that “a number that far exceeds any meeting room capacity within the” library system.

The organization has replied that cancelling would be unlawful and unconstitutional. Organizers have given the library until noon Friday to agree to open its doors to the group or face court action. Moms for Liberty’s Madison County chapter had planned to give away copies of actor-writer Kirk Cameron’s book “As You Grow,” and said the actor would be present Saturday.

The library said it “explored options” to make the event possible consulting Madison City Police, the Madison City Fire Marshall and city officials. The police and fire departments recommended an alternate location, the library said.
