(Patch Media) Good morning, Oak Park-River Forest. I'm here in your inbox today to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town. But first, today's weather: A brief afternoon shower. High: 76 Low: 64. Here are the top three stories in Oak Park-River Forest today: Following an increase in bomb threats made against Illinois public libraries, Oak Park and Forest Park libraries are taking new steps to keep patrons and employees safe. Measures include working more proactively with law enforcement to protect staff and patrons if libraries receive future threats, as well as improving their emergency protocols and collaborating with state and national library organizations, the Illinois Library Association, and the American Library Association to present a unified front in addressing threats.
