- 2022 August 5, Claire Woodcock, “This Town Voted To Defund its Public Library After it Included LGBTQ+ Books”, in Vice.com, archived from the original on 11 December 2022, retrieved 11 December 2022:
- Jamestown Township isn’t the first library to have its operations disrupted in this way. Libraries across the country have recently become a culture war battleground, facing an unprecedented number of book challenges and bans from conservative and far-right extremist groups opposed to the inclusion of LGBTQ+ authors, staff, and events. Last month, a public library in Iowa was forced to close temporarily after all full-time employees quit. The exodus came after months of complaints from conservative residents, who criticized the display of LGBTQ+ books and complained of gender non-conforming library workers "cross-dressing."
