CATAWBA COUNTY — Catawba County Board of Education Chairman Tim Settlemyre and Vice Chair April Underwood read to children at a local See You at the Library gathering. Matthew Fox, a Republican candidate for the board, read as well.
See You at the Library is a nationwide story hour that local Moms for Liberty chapters host. Chapter listings set this year’s story hours for Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026. A Bay County, Florida, listing calls the day the fourth annual See You at the Library. A Washington County, Wisconsin, listing calls it a nationwide story hour. Times and programs differ by chapter.
BRAVE For Good describes See You at the Library as a nationwide story hour it organizes. Its host guidance asks that the story hour be held in a public library on Oct. 3, 2026, and says a church or community center is a fallback only when a library is not available.
Moms for Liberty has a Catawba County chapter. Its chapter page lists Sandy Jarvis as chair, Lori Fowler as vice chair, Kathy Fallin as secretary, and Lynn Taylor as treasurer. The chapter says its work is to unify, educate, and empower parents to defend parental rights.
Settlemyre, who joined the board in 2022, is chair. Underwood, elected in 2024, is vice chair. Fox is not on the seven-member roster. The State Board of Elections canvass for the March 3, 2026, primary shows him among the four Republican nominees, and the county elections office says his name will be on the Nov. 3 ballot. The candidate filing lists him as Brian Matthew Fox, with Matthew Fox as the ballot name.
