Knife-wielding man at Ohio library

Sometimes I say to myself, "Blake, why not work in a public library?" Sometimes the answer is clear... Knife-wielding man at library: man held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill himself this morning at the Batavia Branch of the Clermont County Public Library. Police subdued him without injury to anyone, a library official said.

Four employees and three other patrons – including a woman with a small child – were in the library at 180 S. Third St. at the time, said Dave Mezack, interim director of the 10-library system.
