CONWAY —  Next month, the Conway Public Library will be hosting Drag Queen Story Hour, which is being billed as a family-friendly event; however, some question if it's an appropriate activity for children.

The story hour will be held June 28 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the Ham Community Room of the library. One of the books the drag queens will read is "Red, A Crayon's Story," by Michael Hall. The plot is described online as "a blue crayon mistakenly labeled as 'red' suffers an identity crisis in this picture book by the New York Times–bestselling author."
