Ron French reports:
A few feet away from the children’s section of the Patmos Public Library, adults argued Monday over who are the better Christians.
A version of that debate has been going on in this train depot-themed library near Hudsonville in Ottawa County for three years. Starting with a feud over LGBTQ-themed books, the culture war took a turn last week, when five librarians quit in a dispute with a recently-elected, politically conservative board of directors.
The resignations forced the library to close its doors. It’s unclear when it will be able to hire enough staff to reopen.
In their resignation letter, librarians accused board members of “rude, disrespectful and unprofessional behavior.”
