“On April 21, 2025, Pierce County Library System (“PCLS” or the “Library”) Information Technology staff shut down all computer network systems in an abundance of caution after it detected unusual and potentially malicious activity.“
“The Library was the target of a cybersecurity event, where an outside entity gained unauthorized access to the PCLS network. The initial systems investigation took about three weeks and included work with over a thousand individual systems, servers, software, and databases. This thorough process was necessary to scan for malware, identify possible data removal, and retrace the unauthorized individual’s steps to understand the extent of the breach. “
“The investigation confirmed that some Library data was taken. The details of the information accessed remain unknown at this time and are still under investigation. Individuals whose personally identifiable information was impacted, will be notified accordingly. As a practice, the Library minimizes the amount of personal information collected from library users. “
