The London Public Library experienced a significant system failure that prevented electronic checkout, and the website is being looked at as a potential cyber incident.

The disruption, according to the library, forced the closure of three branches.

For public outreach, the library is now dependent on its social media platforms. Ciccone stated that although experts are looking into the matter, the incident's impact is still unknown.
