CONWAY — Conway Public Library Trustees voted Monday to look into creating a program policy after members of the public expressed concern that an upcoming Drag Queen Story Hour isn’t appropriate 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 as part of a gay pride week celebration.
