All Hawaii state public libraries were closed to the public today following an unspecified threat. A sign on the doors of the main State Library on Punchbowl and South King streets announces the closure this afternoon.
Hawaii public libraries are expected to reopen Tuesday after an “unspecified threat” closed all locations today, a spokesperson for the Office of the State Librarian said this afternoon.
Earlier today, the office announced that “All Hawaii State Public Library System locations are closed today, September 26, 2022, out of an abundance of caution due to an unspecified threat. The library has been working with local law enforcement to determine when it is safe to reopen.”
A spokesperson for the state Department of Public Safety said a second-degree terroristic threatening investigation is underway.
