No. It's just ugly and sad.

I imagine there is a lot more behind the majority voting "no" on the funding than this news article is presenting. The article implies that the voters are pushing an agenda. My gut tells me that it is more likely the news media that is pushing an agenda. You can't trust the media to report in an unbiased manner any more. So my take on this is, "There is more to this story..."

I trust your gut less than you. But did search around for "Jamestown Michigan Library" and all results seem to agree including:
Fox News:
MI library loses funding after being accused of 'grooming' children with books that contain LGBTQ themes
and local sources:
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Only library in Michigan town to close after voters defund it for refusing to ban LGBTQ books
Click on Detroit:
Western Michigan library targeted by anti-LGBTQ+ group loses most of its funding
Not EVERYONE is lying.
