The library says branches remain open as scheduled, and Wi-Fi is still available in them.

It says that, as of now, there is no evidence that personal information of its staff or customers has been compromised.

The library says it’s working with third-party cybersecurity experts to resolve the situation, but expects that it may take several days before all systems are fully restored.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 30, 2023.
