Oak Brook Public Library computer network offline, but library remains open

by SWAN Communications

Hello everyone, The Village of Oak Brook has issued a statement that its computer network was taken offline after being a target of a cybersecurity attack<http://www.oak-brook-il.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=633>. The Village as a precaution has disabled the library's network and computers. SWAN is assisting the library with an offer to utilize some equipment at our headquarters to be used by Oak Brook Public Library employees at our offices for the purposes of checking out material the library has been manually tracking, and processing delivery bins received. SWAN and its computer network was not impacted by the cyber-attack. The library does not know when the Village will resolve the issue as it pertains to the library, but we wanted to alert SWAN libraries as to the situation. SWAN is happy to serve as a communication relay to the library at the moment, but the library can be contacted directly at 630-368-7706 if you would like to reach Jacob Post, Library Manager. We have created a news post about this situation, and if there are significant updates, we will note those on the web post link that follows: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-06/91203 Regards, Aaron Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
