The library at the Bellflower Civic Center was briefly evacuated after someone called in a hoax threat Wednesday morning, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Someone called at 11 a.m. and told library staffers they had three minutes to get out of the building, Lt. Joe Badali said.

The employees evacuated the building and called authorities, but it appears there wasn’t any danger, according to Badali.

“We brought our bomb dogs through the library and everything was clear and OK,” he said.

After about 20 minutes, everyone was let back inside, Badali said.
