The Drag Queen Story Time event scheduled for 2 p.m. Oct. 6 has been moved to South Louisiana Community College at 1101 Bertrand Drive.

The original location was to be the main Lafayette Public Library on Congress Street.

The new location will be SLCC's Health and Sciences Auditorium. The event is being hosted by the library and SLCC's Umbrella Club.

In a statement, Library Director Teresa Elberson said the move "addresses the need for a larger venue due to anticipated overflow crowd and resulting safety concerns."

Elberson said another consideration was to eliminate disruptions to normal Saturday activities at the library.

Fraternity members from Delta Lambda Phi will dress in drag and read to children ages 3 to 6 at the event.

The event, the first of its kind in Lafayette, has spurred controversy since it was announced in mid-August.

Also on Thursday, the library announced the books that will be read at the event. They are "Strictly No Elephants" by Lisa Mantchev, "From The Stars in the Sky To The Fish in the Sea" by Kai Cheng Thom and "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister.
