The woman, who works for the Patmos Library in Jamestown Township, Michigan, explained why the library has been closing early.
Library officials said that the library has about 90 books with LGBTQ+ themes in its 67,000-book collection.
“Pray that we can make changes and make the Patmos Library a safe and neutral place for our children,” said a flyer from one of the local organizations, Jamestown Conservative, this summer.
Two library directors resigned as a result of the hateful messages they received from conservative residents.
The Patmos Library’s funding was on the ballot in the August primary elections, when voters rejected the tax used to pay for the library.
One person suggested that the library board was “fear-mongering” and lying about threats against the library.
At the meeting, library board president Larry Walton said that the safety threat was real and that the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating it. »
