Iowa Safe Schools and Matt McCoy host successful drag story hour in Des Moines library.

The Des Moines Central Library hosted its first drag story hour led by Iowa Safe Schools and Supervisor Matt McCoy, who represents Polk County's First District. The event aimed to promote education, reading, and acceptance. Children who attended the drag story hour were allowed to pick one of three banned books read during the story hour. The event was met with a prayer circle outside the venue, but organizers and attendees emphasized the importance of diversity and love.
