Missouri's top law enforcement official sent a warning Thursday to the Columbia Public Library ahead of an LGBTQ+-themed event for families. She also posted it on social media for the public to view.

The event, "Rainbow Story Time," will take place Saturday morning and include the reading of two books. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote the library on official letterhead to tell leaders to keep the content de-sexualized and age-appropriate.

A library spokeswoman said the material is appropriate for children.
