A Toronto library was unable to open Saturday morning after police reported a bomb threat.
Officers said the Toronto Reference Library, located on Yonge Street just north of Bloor Street, had received a bomb threat.
Toronto police said in a post on social media they were at the library and asked the public to stay out of the area.
The threat was received before 9 a.m. and the library was placed in a hold and secure. It had not yet opened when the threat was received, police said.
“The building is currently being cleared,” Toronto police said on Saturday morning.
