BPL services mostly back online and running again

BPL reported today it's gotten most of its back-end system back up again and today plans to restore many of its "public-facing" services, including the ability to stream and download from digital services, such as Kanopy, via BPL, use other third-party online services with a BPL account and reserve museum passes.

At branches, catalog computers and WiFi are back up, as is self checkout and public printing. Most, but not all, public-access computers are also available again.

But:

• Patrons who had physical library cards issued to them on August 24 will need to bring those cards in so they can be re-activated.  
• Any patron who updated their account between Monday 8/23 at 9PM and Wednesday 4AM will need to log back on and re-enter those changes.

Still no word on just what hackers did to take things down last Wednesday.
