Lt. Ryan Flood said deputies will enforce several security measures to "ensure the safety and security of all people attending or present during the event."  Flood said the decision was made after deputies were notified of multiple threats made over social media.So, the following safety measures will be enforced from 11 a.m. onward at the Five Forks Branch Library on Sunday:There will be no bags of any kind allowed on the property

Anyone wishing to assemble must use the designated areas in the parking lot in an effort to not block or interfere with library patrons.

Expect heavy traffic

No parking on Woodruff Road, Sunnydale Drive or Dusty Lane.

No weapons of any kind will be allowed on the library’s property.

State Law prohibits the wearing of a mask to include bandanas, to conceal a person’s identity.
