The police lined the streets surrounding Schenley Park and did not allow traffic to go down Forbes Avenue past Bigelow Boulevard or through Schenley Plaza. Police also closed off pedestrian access to the library and surrounding sidewalks.

At least five K-9 police dog units entered the library and walked around the perimeter, searching for the package.

At 11:50 a.m., city police gave the all clear and let traffic back through the blocked-off streets and allowed pedestrians back into the library.
