A recent bomb threat to a Forsyth County public library was the result of a juvenile volunteer's actions from within a children's room computer.

A release from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to Sharon Forks Library on July 19 in reference to a suspicious incident. 

It was discovered that a bomb threat was typed into the internet search bar of a public computer in the children’s section of the library.

Investigators had the library evacuated and Explosion Detection K9s responded to the scene. 

The building was searched for explosives, and none were found. 

The Sheriff's office says a truck that was hauling books from the Sharon Forks library was located at the Post Road library and was also searched with no explosives found.

Detectives learned that a juvenile library volunteer was the only person around the computer when the threats were made, was contacted and later admitted to typing the threats into the public computer. 

The child was criminally trespassed from all Forsyth County public libraries and a juvenile complaint form was completed and submitted for terroristic threats.
