Seattle’s public library system was attacked in May, and it took about four months to restore all services. It sucked. We couldn’t use Libby, print, place new holds, or return our physical books. Ransoming hospitals and libraries is such a scumbag move. I hope librarians (and their IT folks) across the country are sharing their experiences with this so systems can get back up more quickly.
