Newport News Public Library

Newport News Public Library (NNPL) operates as a public library system located in Newport News, United States. It provides core services including an online catalog, public computer access, and printing facilities to support community information needs. These services allow patrons to borrow materials, use digital resources, and access basic technology. The library maintains a publicly accessible website for general information and service announcements. During typical operations, users can log into personal accounts to manage their library activity. The system functions as a standard public library resource for its local population.

On April 25, 2023, NNPL suffered a three-day system outage caused by an attempted cyber attack. The attack specifically disrupted online services such as the catalog, public computers, and printing. While the library's website remained accessible, patrons could not log into accounts or use digital resources during the incident. Staff worked to restore all affected functionality within the three-day period. No evidence of compromised personal information was found following the attack. This event is the only known cybersecurity incident for the organization based on the provided information.
