LIBERTYVILLE – State Senator Mary Edly-Allen (D-Libertyville) released the following statement regarding bomb threats made toward suburban Chicago libraries:

“Libraries are vital to our communities. People across the district come to libraries to use educational resources and find community.

“I strongly condemn these cowardly acts made toward these pillars of our community. No one should be afraid to go to the library. These threats only serve to divide our community further and spread fear. I hope you join me in standing in support of our public libraries.”
