Tacoma Public Library branches reopened Monday afternoon, after problems with a technology upgrade kept them closed all of last week.
“We’re up and running,” library spokesman David Domkoski said Monday.
Libraries opened at 2 p.m. Monday and are set to open at noon today.
Last week’s branch closures came amid California-based software vendor Innovative Interfaces’ troubles with transferring the library’s data from an old operating system to a new one.
Late last week, the vendor identified and corrected a corrupted file in the new system that was causing the problems, Domkoski said. All library records have since been successfully transferred, he added.
Since last year, Innovative Interfaces has been working on aspects of the library’s technology upgrade under a five-year, $600,000 contract.
The library had been scheduled to close three days last week to allow for the technology upgrade, but the problems kept all branches closed throughout the week.
