“According to District Director Christal Bruner, the District is working with not only their service provider but a third-party company to verify the attack and determine what can be done to resume normal operations.“

“One of the main systems affected by last week’s ransomware attack on the Mexico -Audrain County Library District is back in service. The circulation system is now available again which will allow patrons to check materials out without staff using pencil and paper to track circulation.“
“However, that has caused a backlog of data entry that needs to be done to put a week’s worth of circulation into the system.“
“One other system that vendors are working to restore is the e-service module and they hope to have that restored by the end of the week. “
