The Reading, Massachusetts, public library was evacuated on Saturday following an emailed bomb threat referencing the facility, police said. Reading police Chief David Clark said around 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, the police and fire departments were notified of a bomb threat made at Reading Public Library, located on Middlesex Avenue and Reading Town Hall on Lowell Street.Clark said the threat was made via email directly to the library.The library was immediately evacuated, according to police. The State Police Bomb Squad was called in to respond.Clark said first responders conducted a thorough search of the library and town hall and determined the threat was unfounded and there was no danger to the public."The incident remains under investigation, but immediate indications are that the threat was an attempt to disrupt a pride event being held at the library, based on the email threat containing a thinly veiled reference to the event which was scheduled to begin minutes after the threat was received," Clark said in a written news release. Police said a similar threat was received in another community earlier in the week.According to the Reading Public Library website calendar, "Pride Storytime with Drag Friends" was scheduled to be held on Saturday morning. Reading police are investigating the incident as a biased-motivated crime."The town of Reading condemns acts of violence, disruption and hate within our community and against our citizens," Reading Town Manager Matt Kraunelis said in a statement. "Everyone deserves to feel safe in Reading.""We shouldn't be pitting neighbors against neighbors and making accusations against each other. I think it's time for us to stand up and let them know that their words from yesterday are not going to define us," Reading Select Board member Chris Haley said Sunday morning.The Reading Public Library reopened for normal business hours Saturday afternoon and is set to be open its normal business hours on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
