A library in western Michigan will likely have to close its doors after a group of residents voted against the renewal of a property tax millage that funds most of its budget.
On Tuesday, Jamestown Township residents voted to effectively defund the Patmos Library over its refusal to remove LGBTQ material from its shelves.
With 1,905 residents voting against the millage, and 1,142 residents voting yes, the library will now lose 84% of its $245,000 budget.
