Seattle Public Library goes low-tech after cyberattack

The computers are one casualty of a cyberattack on May 25 that downed many of the library's digital services indefinitely. Patrons can't check out e-books or digital audiobooks, use Wi-Fi at library branches or place holds on books.

For Seattleites like Sarah Wright, it's a big change.

"We have three young kids. We don't own a ton of books... And we check out like 75 at a time [from the library]," she said. Wright is also heavy user of the library's audiobook collection, listening to books while she drives and does other tasks.
