Boston police said the threat was reported just before noon. It wasn't clear what kind of threat was sent in.
The National Archives and Records Administration which administers the library, released a statement Friday noting its profound thanks to police "for executing a timely and thorough emergency response earlier today," and adding, "The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is open, and we welcome all guests and visitors through its doors to experience the life and legacy of President Kennedy.”

The facility was recently in the news for its abrupt closure one day last month. The National Archives, which runs presidential libraries, didn't say what led to the closure, but the nonprofit foundation that works with the JFK Library said it was due to the sudden dismissal of several workers who were later rehired.
