Public libraries are increasingly facing bomb threats

Today didn't start out the greatest for me, but reading an update on the library world, once I hopped online, certainly put my complaints in perspective.

Multiple libraries, including one at an elementary school (which was targeted twice), have received bomb threats in the past week ... and BookRiot's Kelly Jensen is concerned at the minimal media attention on these incidents.

The bomb threats are coming in all parts of the United States, from California and Oklahoma to Iowa and Illinois, and making local headlines only.

Read more about the past month's surge in bomb threats at libraries and what Jensen thinks citizens can do about them in BookRiot.
