Drag Story Time Comes to Swiss Libraries
Reading hours with drag artists delight families — and spark debate.
More and more Swiss libraries are hosting Drag Story Time: reading hours in which drag artists read children stories about diversity, friendship and courage.
The events are proving hugely popular. Parents appreciate the playful, warm approach to themes like acceptance and being different.
There is occasional criticism and protest. The libraries are sticking with the events, pointing to the strong support from families.
The readers describe children's faces lighting up — and how naturally the youngest take diversity in their stride.
