(this is me complaining about the attack, not the library, they are doing their best)

Everett Public Library, has a reciprocal agreement with Seattle; if you apply for an account online at EPLS.org, you'll be able to sign in to Libby and CloudLibrary for e-books. Online accounts last three months before you'd need to come in and verify your info. (We've had a LOT of signups lately.)

ooh that's interesting to me haha

Was at a reading at the central one recently and the wi-fi being back got announced and everybody cheered.

Can't have nice things... Of all things to attack, hackers choose a free public library???

RIGHT. fucking assholes

King County Library also serves Seattle residents and it's up. Kcls.org

King County Library Systemkcls.org Search the library catalog, put holds on books, find homework help for students, parents, and teachers, and look up open hours and…

ooh nice

It’s back!

i just tried to log in and it's got a banner on it that says login isn't even available!

like so:

That’s so weird! It was back up for me as of a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s only the Libby and Overdrive apps that are working. 🤔 FYI, King County Library System is open to Seattle residents and is an even larger lender of ebooks etc. I got my KCLS card while SPL was down.

yeah i definitely want to look into that!

this is horrible….. ransomware attack on a LIBRARY??

RIGHT like what is even the GOAL there

Why are people attacking libraries can’t people just read for free without paying money for books?

Libby's back online and you should be able to check out ebooks from within the app. (I've gotten a few things this way!) They're aiming to have website access to accounts and holds back late July / early August. spl.org/update
