Toronto Public Library (TPL), says it is addressing an incident related to cybersecurity that took place on Saturday, which has temporarily rendered some services inaccessible.
Public computers and printing services are currently not available at all branches as well as the library’s website, “your account” service, tpl:map passes and digital collections.
Branches are still open, and the phone lines and wifi are both working. In a statement, the library says customers can continue to borrow and return items “until further notice.”
“As of now, there is no evidence that the personal information of our staff or customers has been compromised,” reads the statement.
TPL also adds that it is prepared for cyber-security issues and has taken swift measures to reduce any potential impacts. They’re also consulting third-party experts to resolve the issue.
“We do anticipate though that it may take several days before all systems are fully restored to normal operations,” they said.
