A library in Michigan will close after voters rejected its funding for the second time because library staff refused to remove LGBTQ books.
"It means a lot that people are standing with this library and our community," the Patmos Library Board said in a plea to voters released just before the election."The financial support for the library is incredible and will help us weather the immediate crisis. However, we know very clearly that what this library needs to remain open over the long term is to pass the 10-year levy renewal in November.
We cannot run the Patmos Public Library for the next decade without stable taxpayer support. ... If the levy fails, we will put these donations to work in the best way we can for as long as we can."Connor Cook, a 26-year-old gay man who grew up in Jamestown and now attends medical school at Wayne State University, said he was shocked when he found out it failed.
