If you want to use taxpayer funds to pay for “woke” programs, be ready for taxpayers to get more involved in demanding accountability for how their money is being used.
That’s the message taxpayers of Lake Luzerne in New York seemed to have sent to a local library.
The Rockwell Falls Public Library in Lake Luzerne, which was the site of a “summer of controversy” due to their promotion of a drag queen story hour on the premises, has abruptly shut down because of the resignation of two of its three staff members, according to WRGB.
A sign on the door of the library informed patrons that the library was closed due to a loss of two thirds of its staff.
More turmoil for the Lake Luzerne library, known for its drag queen story hour controversy. It’s now closed until further notice after its director resigned.

The controversy surrounding Rockwell Falls Public Library started in April when the library posted an invitation to “Drag Queen Story Hour” on their Facebook page.
According to Times Union, a drag queen by the name of Scarlet Sagamore was scheduled to read three books to children, including “Red: A Crayon Story,” which is about a crayon that was made with the wrong color label.
The resulting furor over the post led to a packed board meeting three days later, as parents on both sides of the issue voiced their opinions about having the program on public property.
